Photography a way of life

Hi Im Darren i am a profesional photographer, in a world now full of photographers . Just over 10 years ago i achived a degree in documenty and fine art photography. Learning the art of the dark room and experiencing the magic of watching the image appear for the first time. Since photography has chaged from the time consuming film procesing to the instant gratification of digital.

Photography struggled to be recognised as an art form for some time.. can we consider photographs taken on a phone to be art?
