I don't know much about art but I know what I like

Whether photography is art has always been a debate between photographers and artists. 

My view is that some photography is art, and that some (if not most) is merely editorial or documentary and is therefore is ephemeral, here today and gone tomorrow (or maybe a chip wrapping)

Ultimately most photographic images won't last forever, there are others that will still be around in a hundred years of course but most are only around for the month that a magazine or advert is current or perhaps for the year that a website lasts before needing a revamp.

Businesses always need new images to reflect the changes in their market, to show their new products & staff, their brand new offices or factory or perhaps to just stay one step ahead of the competition with a new exciting advertising campaign so if change & progress are happening in your business please do get in touch

I'm not sure what the ex-owner of this lovely artwork is saying to the world by dumping it next to the bin, maybe they no know something about art after all
