I had some stuff in a juried show once and the juror said something that has stuck with me. Those snaps you guys are bashing are some the most valuable photographs in the world. First, there are usually only one or two copies in existence. Second they hold greater importance to the owner than any photograph a great photographer has taken. Yes, there are many arguments that can be made about the relative nature of his statement as there are arguments to support it.

I think it is very dangerous to travel down a road where we have to classify each type of photography genre. This simply 'ghettotizes' certain types of photography making photography on the whole vunerable to censure. Of course there types of photography that are very vile that do require censor and punishment, kidde porn being a prime example.
