While pondering the age-old question, "What good is art?", I came across a review of two photo exhibits that, in their diametrical approaches, gave me cause to reflect upon the variety of purposes one can select for a single media. Do we use our art to say something socially relevant, or do we let its aesthetic properties speak for themselves? The social realists and impressionists of the 19th century fought over such questions, and the debate is no less germane today. Only the media is different. In our featured article this week, read how two different photographers - one doing photojournalism and one doing pinhole photography in the fields of France - found two powerful yet polarly opposite uses for the tools of their trade.
