All purpose "Neil Hamilton in new scandal" photo

Neil Hamilton pulled out of hustings last week, ending his bid to become a UKIP election candidate. This followed Channel 4 reporting that they had seen a letter from UKIP's finance committee querying his expenses claims.

Given his habit for getting into trouble, hopefully this (rather corny) photo I took of him at the Eastleigh 2013 by-election campaign will come in handy, one day...

Jonathan Jones vs Sean O’Hagan “Is photography art” blah blah blah December 2014

Over the past week, there's been a debate within the pages of The Guardian by two of its writers, Jonathan Jones and Sean O’Hagan, over whether photography is art. That old chestnut.

David Bailey gives a simple answer to this question:

“I don’t think you can say whether something is art or not. Photographs are not art, painting’s not art; it’s whether the person doing it is an artist or not.”*
Almost a truism.

And how does this relate to Duchamp's statement

“I don't believe in art. I believe in artists.”

?
