Why do those who apparently don't wish to participate in, or read, another "is it art?" thread feel the need to read and participate in one? :-D Skygirl, I have complete sympathy with the notion that Poser use doesn't have to be for the creation of art, and that such other use is just as valid. I've never really understood why people have campaigns against NVIATWAS type images (which is not to imply that NVIATWAS cannot be art), or any other type. Perhaps, given the nature of the remark that took me aback (see above), I should have titled this thread "is it creative?". I think the analogy of photography is interesting, especially that of studio photography. I'm starting to feel reassured. ;-)
