There was an exhibition recently promoting photographs as a form of wall art.
The objective was to get more people to hang photographs rather than paintings.
So I thought I should try my hand at it. What better place to start than photographing
still life. Probably the first painting lesson we all got - painting a bowl of fruits.
Here is the equivalent photo.

Will you hang this on your wall?

Karthik, you have asked a good question.
What would one prefer to hang on a wall , a painting or a photo art picture ?
In my opinion preferences will vary.
When it comes to objects of nature one tends to prefer a painting. ( I suppose because of the difficulty involved in capturing the reality ) When the desire is to capture feelings, movements, breadth etc, photo art, when done well, can be enchanting. So if it is a bowl of fruit I prefer to to hang a paiting on the wall.If it is the joy of a child in the arms of its mother, a photo can be better.
