They get artists who use photography to illustrate their ideas, installations, performances and concepts, who ’deploy’ the medium as one of a range of artistic strategies to complete their work.  But photography for and of itself -photographs taken from the world as it is– are misunderstood as a collection of random observations and lucky moments, or muddled up with photojournalism, or tarred with a semi-derogatory ‘documentary’ tag.” - Paul Graham
