Another slightly different scenario: I was selling framed color prints at a gallery. A customer was just about to pay for one of my landscape photos, when he said, "I just love this painting." As soon as I said it was a photograph and not a painting, he decided he did not want to buy it because it was 'only a photograph'.
That makes me smile since I had a very similar thing happen at an Art Festival where I had a tent. A women came in looking at one of my 48" wide canvas wave prints. She stood looking at it, and then said, "I love that painting", I said, "it is a photograph", she said I am a painter, it is a painting", " I am the photographer and it is a photograph". She bought it.
One of the many reasons I try to only print on canvas. The texture, and colors stand out and to me it is art.
