Don't get me wrong - I have no problem with photo >illustrations; I just want them clearly labeled as such. Why? I can understand that if we're presenting an image as a pictorial history of what happened, but if we're talking about photography as art, what's it matter? If I mount my Leica on a tripod and take a time exposure so that I blur out people and only record the background, should I label that as an illustration rather than a photograph? I don't see what labeling buys us. Except room for more confusion. :) Eric - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
