I'm not a photographer. If I take a picture in which the composition, lighting, framing and all that is perfect, it's purely coincidental. A photographer is an artist in my opinion in that they may not "own" what they photographed, but they had the talent and skills to put it all together in a way some of us could not.

In Poser, I have control over lighting, framing, composition and all that. Sometimes, I hit the magic button and sometimes, it's just an amateur photograph. To those who can compose a scene - and there are some extremely talented folks around here who can - they are artists regardless of the content.

And, sometimes, it's what you're doing with it. Take a gander at EClark's Android comic for an example. Some of it is free props, others purchased and maybe he built a few himself. But there's no doubt that the finished comic series is art. Anyone who thinks otherwise is someone with a different opinion!
