In a way, though, this all boils back to the "what is considered ART" argument. Can you imagine how a magazine ad would look if all "art" was treated this way? "I'd like to thank Cameron Diaz's mother for giving birth to her, and her third grade teacher for making her want to go into show biz so that I could take the picture. Versace for designing her clothes, Christian Dior for her pantyhose, Minolta for my camera and Gucci for my camera bag to hold my equipment. And Ford, can't forget Ford for building the car that she's leaning against. Oh yeah, and the guy that laid the cement for the sidewalk. And God, because God gave us this bright sunny day and provided lovely ambient light." "Me? Oh, I just clicked the shutter on the camera that I didn't build to take a picture on film I didn't create to use in a darkroom filled with stuff I bought from someone else." When the heck does it become Too Much? Why does one medium 'require' it, and others don't?
