Photography is Art?

I found this article on May 14, 2009. It is called Photographic Realism by Clayton Medeiros. He is talking about how photography is not a form of art. He views as photography as something the artist cannot change because he or she has taken a snap shot of it and cannot do anything else to it. Once it is in the viewers hands there is nothing the artist can do to alter the picture or change it. Scientist say that the photo's view the real color in the picture. It adds realism because there is nothing painted to it and everything is real around what is pictured. The only way the artist can alter the image is if he or she has a program like photoshop to alter the photo.
