When sunlight comes through your window... based on that definition any interaction of "photons" with our reality is a graph. I like it. Very good reply Tom.

A composite photograph is a photograph made from more than one exposure, isn't it? Would seem to me the purist feels insecure, as if someone is taking something from him, or perhaps he feels like his, being pure, is really all there is. When judging, in an art class, or in conversation, it is important to know and note the difference, if relevant. But when else is it relevant? On the idea that if an image in toto wasn't in front of the camera at time of shutter release, then it isn't a photograph, somewhat explains why some folks get left behind. When sunlight comes thru my window and lightens a part of my comforter, isn't that a photograph too? I think the key to it for many of us was the statement, "They were particularly popular with the Victorian public." Some forward thinker was busy selling 'photographs' while some other thinker was fuming~ cheers~ Eh. A composite photograph is a photograph made from more than one exposure, isn’t it?

It sums it up very well. Reminds me of something you might say actually. I wonder who said that George? It sums it up very well. Reminds me of something you might say actually.
