Hah!   I dunno, it all blurs to me.  As I posted yesterday, we have a
good deal of so-called "art photography" here that no one ever asks to
see.  They are far more interested in the shots of baptisms in the
river, washday at the plantation, and shots of Front Street
Natchitoches.

Obviously, a dictionary is only a description of the use of the
language, but as I have said several times before, most of my shots
fall into the catagory of snapshots.  High end snapshots, I hope; I
don't ever go out intending to shoot art.

I'm just a Red-neck Cherokee with a couple of Leicas, taking pictures
of the life of my town.

Regards,

Sonny
