How does the name hypocrite sound.  I quote you:

"Every image is art....unless you're pompous and stuck up"

It looks like you think I am "pompous and stuck up", and I think you are a
moron that hates art, and artists.

It is silly to debate what art is, becuase the only thing it really is, is
subjective.

I don't want anyone to think that I am discouraging anyone from shooting as
much 3-D photography that they want to.  And, you and anyone you show the
images to are welcome to enjoy them.  I just think that you are living in a
fantasy world, or you were making your speach to kindergarden art students.

Why don't you put some of your 3-D Masterpieces up at your web site so that
we all can see that you were right?  It is fine for you to say that your own
images are all art, but other people on this list (my self included) don't
think that all of their pictures are art.  And for that reason alone, your
statement that all photos are art cannot be correct.  Mistaken photos can
most definately be art, but not all mistaken photos, or intentional photos
are inherent masterpieces.

It sounds to me that you thinking all of your shots are art sounds a lot
more like an ego problem than someone thinking that some of their shots are art.

 "[Cliff Davis]... confronted by something abnormal will always pretend that
it isn't there. If he can't pretend that, he will look through the object,
or round it, or above it or below it, or in any direction except into it.
If, however, you force him to look into it, he will at once pretend that he
sees the object not for what it is but for something that he would like it
to be."
