I'd think that you want to see photos with pictures of butterflies and flowers in San Fransisco- that's AND behaviour across the board. A logical way of thinking about it is with no tags selected, we see the whole library (current behaviour). If we are searching for a particular photo, we click a tag and see only the portion of the library containing that tag (current behaviour). Another click, and only a portion of what was shown before. Each tag click further narrows down our selection until it is easy to find the photo we want. > > So what way do you propose to do that?
