PeterNYou seem to imply that only art created with a camera and tweaked in a darkroom (wet or digital) should be in your opinion called a photograph. Everything else in your estimate is just a picture.

<snip>PeterNDepends on whether you classify a casual snapshooter as a photographer.Savageduck
Is a snapshot not a photograph? Is the snapshot shooter who produces nought but photographs sneeringly called snapshots, a photographer?
Well, you may call me a snob, and technicallly you are right, but in I do not equate picture taking with photography. Not all who take pictures are photographers. Sorta like the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant.
Yup! You are a snob trying to justify your snapshots. Welcome to the club. ;-) Even a snapshot is a photograph.
First define a photograph. Photograph: (noun) a picture made using a camera, in which an image is focused onto film or other light-sensitive material and then made visible and permanent by chemical treatment, or stored digitally.
Then define photographer. Photographer: (noun) a person who takes photographs.
BTW; the dictionary has this to say regarding snapshot. Snapshot: (noun) an informal photograph taken quickly, typically with a small hand held camera.
I said that above. I also claim that photography is a art.
