In many contexts the use of terms like "street" of "nature" or "portrait" simply refer to shooting under specific conditions or for certain subject types that change the nature of the equipment. Of course, people being people, we often shorten the phrase to refer to the condition/subjects or even equipment in a quick way. Even if we don't' like the connotations of a term like "street photography", it is useful. Notice how most of the folks in this thread knew what sort of equipment combinations and conditions were being considered.
The real trick is, as with anything, is not to take yourself too seriously . . . By the way, I favor using the term "photograph" all around and specifying "film" or "digital" when the distinction is needed. "Image" is just too general a term for my taste, although I'm sure I've used it. Of course, there's always "picture". . . ;-) Steven Desjardins Department of Chemistry Washington and Lee University Lexington, VA 24450 (540) 458-8873 FAX: (540) 458-8878 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
