in answer to these questions: http://www.geocities.com/ghedani1/moldovita/moldoviteg.htm I am using these pictures to illustrate the definition that I proposed (but do not necessarily believe in) between a snapshot and a not-snapshot. Under the definition the first photograph is a snapshot because I had not intended to take that particular photograph. The opportunity came along and I took it, with the help of Valentin Donisa. I took the 2nd photo a week or so later. I had a good idea of what I had with the first photo, so when I saw the wall with the Coke mural I knew it could make an interesting counterpoint to the monastery and the nun. So I waited for several hours over several days while the light was right until a woman walked in front of it in the right place - it is not at all the 'natural' place to walk. I had hoped for another nun, of course, or for a slightly better (in some way) woman, but I would probably still be there now, and it does the trick. Given the intention, and the active seeking out of the photo, I do not consider it a snapshot under the definition I gave. -- Cheers, Bob
