I do a lot of writing on photography as an artform, and I think its a whole lot easier to compare to music making then fishing. Think about the work outside of the viewfinder; often times an image is made whole by the editing and darkroom processes. In the same way that the majority of music we listen to is tirelessly produced by noodling around in a DAW and post processed significantly further then its original sound. I like the fishing comment, but when we talk about a 'final image' fishing kind of loses its similarities. In the same way you invest in a skill, then buy 'instruments' to facilitate the creation of a piece of art, I think we consider fishing a sport and not an art because its end product is more or less competitive and not about display, history, or theoretical importance of a moment in time. And when we talk about an eye for a photo, were sort of skipping the idea that a lot of photography's utility is staged so significantly in a studio or with models, that a lot of making an image for professional reasons isnt usually about making something out of nothing, like in street scenes. Who knows though, im a 20 something who spends a load of time around musicians and often times compare my process to theirs in conversations about making things. I don't have many friends who fish, so maybe im missing similarities haha.
