Which brings us back to the once and a while popping up basic  
discussion about photography: does making a photograph is less good  
than taking one?
Why should one know how a photograph was made, unless if it's to  
check that it's not messing around with facts? Which only has a good  
purpose if it's about reportage IMO, where the only issue is to  
reproduce reality.
