8. I can see where he is coming from. I think that photos represent the artist and their style, also their composition and concept of the image shows who they are as an artist. However I feel that when other people look at photographs they tend not to think about the artist. This is actually the thing that saddens me about art is that a lot of people look at artwork and see strictly what's sitting in front of them and love the piece instead of giving credit to the artist and understanding their intention.
9. I agree and disagree with this quote. I think it depends on the image. For instance if you're doing a shoot in a studio with props and a model you're making the photograph. However if you're taking a picture in nature I think you're taking a photograph and making into a piece of artwork.
10. I agree with this statement until the vary last part. I think that photos do help us remember things that we forgot, where as paintings are of what the artist remembers (for realistic art mostly). When you are painting a portrait of someone you paint what you remember seeing where as a picture captures everything that is there, even the things you forgot. However I don't agree with, "a photo more than a painting may change meaning according to who is looking at it." I think that paintings have more room for different meanings because they aren't an exact image of what you see; there is more distortion in paintings which I think evokes different meanings and emotions.
