Kai - The answer is BOTH. There are valid reasons for galleries in a community like this which are about art - there are also valid reasons for galleries which feature technique and skill, and yes, even the software. This is as much a technical community as it is an artistic one. The problem seems to be that the ARTISTS are the snobs who don't see anything except what their narrow definition of whatever they THINK "Art" is. There are many categories in the genre list which I will never use, but I don't feel the need to tell other people that those categories are useless. My question, again is, why do people with your mentality try to tell me what is useful and what is not just because your needs or desires differ from mine?. I really want to know. What are you afraid of? What's the big deal? Why do YOUR needs superceede MINE? What's wrong with co-existence? All I want is ONE little category to help me find the kind of image I wish to view (and I am NOT alone in this). Why does this threaten YOU (and aparently some others as well) to the point that you resort to insult to make your point? Peace? Looks more like "Hit and run" to me. Keep smilin' :-)
