Ted,

I don't want to be offensive and you know it Mon Ami, cher Ami. :-)
But kids are used to different perspectives (cartoons have helped) , to 
a different sense of composition (digital age),  and I'm sure they never 
heard or refer to our standards - who among the generations have heard 
abbout Kertesz, Nadar, Smith, Sudek or Evans to name but a few?

Everything in there is cultural.

I really wonder what or who Chinese photographers refer to today ...
In earnest
Yours
Phil...x
