How Dependent is Art on the Artist?

We’re going to wander a little outside of the normal realm of visual journalism this morning and look at Richard B. Woodward’s piece in the Wall Street Journal*.

Interesting thought piece by Richard B. Woodward at the Wall Street Journalabout the process of turning a negative into an actual photograph.

At what point does a frame or file...
