Same here - I still struggle with vernacularity.
Perhaps one of the more versed vernacularists could enlighten me?
The definitions I found on the web point more towards involuntarily
funny - is that it?

Did you read the Wikipedia def that Scott referenced?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernacular_photography
I figure the key point is made here:
"Vernacular photographs are types of accidental art, in that they often
are unintentionally artistic."
Or you could opt for the OED def:
"concerned with ordinary domestic and functional buildings rather than
the essentially monumental."
So rummage through those snapshots. :-)
