Fascinating. I think that both questions are true, because nature IS
beauty, and mere recording nature is the very first step; but the next
step, inevitable for the human beings, is to put questions about the
nature, and consequently to place renditions. Human mind is not a mere
recorder, in the end: when a personal elaboration of the nature (the
world, the universe) is made, the recording becomes perception, and
the photo a picture, that is an artifact.
