Two arguements...one How OK would it be for me to publish a book with photos from my favorite online blog photographers, Ming, Zack, Thom, Richard, Ken...etc. and call it mine!? I see no difference btw... Second point... Do you have to hold the brush? (Painting) Do you have to ride the bicycle? (Cycling) Do you have to pull the bow? (archery) Do you have to throw the javelin? (Olympics) ... The list goes on and on...the one who aims it and presses the shutter, is the photographer. The one who is graphing the photo so to speak. And yes, don't forget aiming, as pressing the trigger is half of the story in pictures we like. Although, Autographer wants to change that.
