If calling it art will sell [a photograph], good dealers will call it art. I actually had a client say that if someone was an artist making photographs she could buy what I was selling, but if he was a photographer making photographs she couldn't. So I said, Okay, he's an artist.

Refreshingly cynical comment by a leading NY photography dealer. Quoted in John Stathatos, "The Territories of the Medium"
