i agree fully nikita,
art is subjective, therefore what one person constitutes as art, another may abhor. that is the beauty of people as individuals...

You are right in pointing out that passion alone does not make an item art Oz. for me, that is one of the most important factors though in considering what i would call art versus just a photo or whatever. that's not to say that i would argue against some pieces being called art that do not result in a passionate awakening of feelings within me, it's just to say that for me to fully appreciate something as an artform, i prefer to have a strong feeling attached to it.

LOL now that i look back at what i've written here, i don't even know if i am explaining in a way that makes sense! LOL. but hey, i tried!
