It was MY observation that by that definition I have known the pen and ink artists that would qualify as photographers making that opening definition as absurd as it was. You cannot define photography, or much else with such a simplistic approach. Especially when photography is so many things to so many different people.

I believe that a photograph or any art execution should have some emotion attached to it. I taped up 50 photos in my office some over processed some bw mostly graphic
no kids or people. Was thinking of trying to sell small collections online. A couple of people walked in and their reactions was very enlightening. A friend came over we so some
business together. And he said WOW. He really liked the graphic bw shots but the whole collection productivity really entertained him. A lady helping my wife straighten the house
she has back problems liked the b&w's. She wasn't even interested in the Taj Mahal but focused on a shot that is one of my favorites. A table top in Italy.
Now you might say I started with a photograph should have emotion. I think all photos have an emotional message. Not sure why but I feel the image.
This is the favorite. No idea why.

My thought is it has an attraction beyond the abstract because it resembles a closeup of a human eye. Human vision is hard wired to respond to eyes.
Lots of good responses to this thread overnight.
