A snap shot picture indeed is very often
better than one taken with considerable
study When l say snap shot, mean, OF
course, simply an observation-disclosures piCSuie
taken in the studio, and mean the taking
a mans photograph when he doesn't know
it. A photographer who risks a snap shot
should already have studied his subject,
should be familiar with his habits and sur
roundings and should know the one posi-
tion in which his man appears at the best.
The moment a man is told to look nat
ursl, please" that very moment the poor
man will look perfectly miserable. He
feels that he is posing. He is self con-
scious, an element always sure to affect

may seem, this is the very reason that DIR.

II he could be caught unaware some time,

himself in photograph as he really is.

be photographed to look naturally only by

Fhe dmie1a Daily Eagle: griday Hormiua ar e. 1884

This question has been dIscusseo Tor years,
but we have arrived no nearer to decision
than we were at the beginning Many per-
sons claim that photographers are artists
in picture making and entitled to the
same standing IS those who paint on can
vas. Debaters on the negative side argue
that photography. in an aesthetic sense,
must stand entirely and unreservedly apart
from painting TO almost as great an extent
as sculpture They claim, further, that the
majority of photographers are not noted for
their excellence in drawing-most of them
can't draw at all, in fact-and that some
are even color blind, yet can make fairly
artistic photographs.
Photography as a Fine Art.
AS for myself, agree that photography
is an aesthetic art when confined to its le-
gitimate purpose and practiced by men OF
artistic knowledge and skill. A photog-
rapher who possesses these requirements is
an artist in his profession, just as is paint
er in the profession of painting. 1t amounts
to simply this: The photographer who is
also an artist will surely make the best
photograph. ] have been asked to what
one thing l attribute my success in photog-
raphy9 / reply, because am an artist first.
The more artistic taste that can be brought
into photography the better will it be for
the photographer.
The advantage of artistic training was
shown TO some extent in my photographs
of General Hancock. The campaign photo
graphs of the general showed him as wear
ing goatee. This was the cause of some
wonder, for it was known that General
Hancock had not worn this appendage
since he had thrown off the uniform of the
war period. After had taken his picture
placed my hand over the lower portion OF
his face, informing him that he had splen-
did eyes, good nose and strong mouth,
but that his chin was weak. You need a
goatee,' said. He assented, and so drew
a tuft of hair over his chin as the negative,
thus explaining the warriors goatee photo
graphs.
