Naturally, since this has nearly zero to do with being a photographer,
shooting photographs, understanding how photographs work, appreciating
photographs, teaching photography, photographic aesthetics, photographic
communication, photographic printmaking, photographic history, recording
events photographically, interpreting photographic subject matter, or
anything else that most people find even remotely interesting or useful
about photography.

chemistry of pigments or the atomic structure of brush bristles)
