I thought the 4th place image was a great shot and it had a lot of elements that I find in a lot of SP BUT the posed aspect knocked it solidly out of the genre and into a different place. You don't have to agree. Coley does use the word set-up in his description and the "Death" model is his wife.

Great shot very cool. Cal;l it what you want or don't call it anything at all but I wouldn't call it SP, that's for sure.


True. It probably wanders over into the 'fine art photography' category.

Then we get into the 'what, SP isn't art?' discussions. and the people with art hanging in art galleries get to laugh at the photographers in photography galleries arguing about what bit of photography is or isn't art.

Call it art...don't call it art. Who cares. People buy it and hang it. That's all that matters. Decriptions just help people categorize, file and organize things.

Again, go to a record store and the music get's categorized. Why...?

Dunno, some people get very upset if it gets called art.

Why does it get categorised?

So it can be packaged up and dismissed as one thing or another, put in a mental box of I like it or I dont?
So it can be purchased and compared?
So it can be prejudged?
