What Makes a Photograph Art? Ann Thomas, National Gallery of Canada

What separates a snap shot from a fine art photograph which is worthy of hanging in a National Gallery? My guest on this episode of Photo Kibitz is Ann Thomas, Curator of Photography for the National Gallery of Canada. Ann and I chat about the National Gallery’s extensive world class collection of photographs, which starts practically from the beginning of photography and continues to grow with works from today. I also asked Ann how she looks at a photograph, what does she see in them. Of course, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to ask how can I get my photographs into the National Gallery collection.
