OK, Bob...we have a quantification of terms here (yes, I made that up). I
understand "a lot" is subjective, but I believe it's a LOT more than one
thinks of "some" as.  Bill Gates has A LOT of money, but in the overall
amount of money in the world, he really has very little.  Most any reportage
is supposed to be an accurate reproduction of a scene, and so is most all
happy snapping...and I'd say, that comprises MOST of the photography in the
world.

Well, no.  I am more into, what I consider, artistic expression, but I do so
by using my eye to capture a scene that I believe has artistic qualities in
and of the scene, not create artistic qualities using PS.
