What is the point of photography and art? My thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make sublime (great) photos, which inspire and uplift the souls of future photographers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Is it possible to make timeless photos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Or in other words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How great do you aspire towards?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Who are your benchmarks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
