Is photography art?

 

We all know what photography is.  It’s an image, frozen in time, by a person with the aid of technology.
Whether that technology is a new digital camera, a Polaroid camera, toy camera, or homemade pinhole it matters not.
What matters, insofar as this question is concerned, is a matter of the intention of the photographer.  Did the photographer intend to create art? and further, did the photographer accomplish said goal?
what is opinion..
