SavageduckThat is a very narrow statement of what I said. My original statement was in substance that most art photographers don't have any interest in writing or using scripts. this statement got twisted into something else. I also stated that a through knowledge of the functions and limitations of software used in a digital darkroom is required to get consistently good results. I stand by my statements. As for your conclusion about my statement, A decent image can very well be created in the camera, that doesn't need post processing. A film image of course must be processed. If the darkroom worker doesn't know what he is doing, the image can easily be ruined. I do not consider all images to be photography. I consider a photograph to be a work of art. A lousy picture is just that, not a photograph, even though it may have been made in a camera. Yes, I know the dictionary definition is different, and a stated that earlier.

<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.
You 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.
