Gertrude Käsebier's work is certainly not pretentious. The above photo is documenting something, while Käsebier's work has a more artistic quality. Nothing pretentious about them.

I agree. Yet at the same time, this illustrates what I love so much about photography. It's an art form AND a record keeper. To me, the magic happens when they intertwine.
