Yes it's all about presentation and capturing the moment. Press photographers win awards for capturing the most grotesque on film, these are not carefully staged shots but spontaneous coupled with their ability as professionals to get amazing results.

When a chef presents the most appealing dish for your delight it whets your appetite visually. That is all about presentation and correctly so being the object of the exercise.

Paintings in galleries are presented to the viewer in the best possible light as Carl did with his Kusamono, so really how this was achieved seems totally irrelevant. It is purely perception we should be concerned with.

To me art and the presentation of art clasp one another and the means justifies the end.

Kind regards Ash
