Yep. Or, to put it another way, the medium is the message. A photograph vs. a photorealistic painting of the exact same subject and composition will necessarily carry different meanings.

But both the photographer and the painter are still equally valid as artists. (Note the / sarcasm tag at the end of the thread.)

Dangerous strategy to do a full thread and put the sarcasm tag in the last post 😅
