Eric StevensThe only person placing a narrow definition on "photograph" & "photographer" is Peter. As far as I am concerned a photograph is 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. Some are good, some are bad. Some are produced with care and some are informal "snapshots". Some have qualities which rise to the level of art, some are called art by the shooter when they are still just ordinary photographs, and some are just snapshots without artistic pretension by the shooter. All are photographs shot by photographers.

would it shock you to know that most photographers do not record actions. the artist modifies each image, individually.
Not all photographers are "artists".
in fact, very few are.
And I was clearly only talking about good photo artists.
that's nice.
everyone else was talking about photographers, not a specific niche you picked.
For a given definition of 'photographer'. You seem to be using a different one.
a photographer is one who takes photographs.
what definition are you using?
The question is 'what definition is everyone else using in this discussion?' My impression is that the definition does not include merely holiday/family snap shooters.
