Frankly, it seems to me that there are some of the unsual assumptions here about what exactly constitutes "fine art" photography (as a category - quality evaluations aside). Whose idea of "fine" art? As opposed to what other kind of art? (This kind of bugs me in the same way all those articles and workshops about "Mastering the Fine Print" used to bug me. "Fine Print" seemed to be code for "like Ansel Adams or John Sexton or Howard Bond" or whomever, with the annoying presumption that anything else was therefore less than "Fine.") To respond to something Tom C asked in another message, no, I don't believe that the subjectivity of a majority = objectivity of a sort.
