I thought I'd pass this along from Digital Photography Review. The link
will take you to an interview with a digital photographer whose work might
prove to be of interest to members of this list.

For myself, I doubt this is or ever could be photography, rather more like
digital "image making." The results may be judged good or bad. I find them
impressionistic but not new or even fresh in their attempt at concept;
DPR's view (and that of a couple of writers for Shutterbug) runs counter to
mine. I find that as no great surprise--we live in an age where it is felt
necessary in many quarters to present the Latest and Greatest! thing in
order to . . . whatever.
To be fair, I look at myself as a workman, not an artist. My view of
subjects, and subsequent treatment of the work they inspire, is influenced
heavily by a documentary eye. There could be bias here, but I'm not sure.
Also, I don't say this work is bad but relatively unimportant to me.
