"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film, is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything." ~ Aaron Siskind

I think, What is Photography, would have been a better title, but that's my opinion.

I think that this is an interesting topic Here is my thought. A photograph is a moment in time. Captured, perhaps, forever

Photographs are the lead anchors which prevent our imaginations from fleeing this earthly bondage.

A photographer is anyone who takes a picture. They may be good, bad, or in between. Pro or armature. Some of the best photographers are amateurs. Love these guys who do birds or spiders who become experts in the type of photography they do and never make a penny from it. Dave

Photography is disappearing. It is being replaced with Photoshopping.

i respect the technical photoshoper who can fix/recover anything; i respect the artistic photoshoper who can create/modify anything.
Most of all though i respect the few photographers who can crawl up out of the digital detritus and give us the images rightfully labeled 'photography'.

Thank you all so far for some great insights on this.
Not good at titles at times. Sorry.

My definition of photography (INMHO): Film or card in a camera, a person with a vision and composition pre-planned, and the ability to record that decisive moment (re: Henri Cartier-Bresson) that makes an image of value.

That is now part of the creative process that you as a photographer have as a VISION for the final image.

We could always remove the artsy fartsy romantic hyperbole and say a photograph is nothing more than an intentionally captured image.
