Horse shit, David - Photography has always been, "oooo, look at that -
SNAP!" Which explains why 99.9 percent of all photos taken - keep in mind
that, to steal a phrase from the late Carl Sagan, there are "billions and
billions" of photos taken every year, if not every month, by everyone from
three-year-olds with disposables in their hands, to the folks on this list
who take photography very seriously indeed. The "trend in photography" has
always been "see anything" and "take a picture," and unless one is a real
master with PS or other image manipulation programs, the average worthless
photo remains that, no mater how much manipulation it gets.

By the way, when the Polaroid came out did you suggest calling photography
using Polaroid cameras and film "polography?" :-)
