Hi!
Having started a couple of threads that in my Thunderbird register
together at 120+ messages (my personal record I think :-) ), I suppose I
ought to summarize things a bit.
So I am going to present you some quotes which strike a thought in me.
1. Snapshot is a state of mind. (Shel)
2. A photograph can be categorized by more than one word. (Godgrey)
3. Snapshot: 1/30 second or less. Photograph: 1/15 second or longer. (W
Robb)
4. A simple photographic recording of a person/place at a point in time.
(Ken Waller)
5. "Snapshot" simply refers to a photograph made in a casual manner...
(Rob Studdert)
6. Perhaps a snapshot is an image made with neither significant thought
nor previsualization. (Lewis Matthew)
7. The defining property of a snapshot is the absence of pretension. (Bob W)
I probably missed some more interesting things that could be added to
list. However I think the conclusion is this:
Snapshot is *mostly* about how oneself is thinking about their
photograph. Snapshot is also *mostly* about how the viewer thinks about
what they are seeing. The rest is either technique or simply irrelevant.
Ladies and gentlemen, this was one amazing exchange of thoughts and
reasoning, I am humbled.
Great many thanks.
Boris
