i'm basically with you on this
yet, the reality we live in
does not differentiate
between photograph, illustration, photo-illustration
in my opinion
when you pose a subject
you've moved into photo-illustration
so, in that context
are kyle's gun owners
documents
or
illustrations

in this new world
should photo credits read
"posed, artificially lit photo-illustration by?"
or
"unposed, as found, photograph by?"
or, is it up to the viewers
to determine the level of visual truth?

Fond regards,
George
