Isn't it a shame that photography is not universally recognised as an Art?

They say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" for good reason. Appreciation of art in any form is highly subjective. One person's art may be another persons trash. Good photography is fine art because it reflects the photographer's way of seeing, and way of framing what he/she sees. Then the viewer must be able to interpret this, so its a two-way street. I think people trained in visual arts can appreciate other visual arts, including photography, more because they have had training in looking and seeing and trying to interpret the artists intention for framing what they see the way they do. This can also include digital photography and the manipulation of a digital image.
