Would a connection between "Fantasy Football" and Photography be "Fantasy Photography?"

<p>I'm sorry, Charles, but once again (and this is happening with consistency), I've lost you. You're offering so many strands of so many different thinkers, using quotes of others embedded within quotes of yet others. It's really impossible for me to follow. You seem to be responding to me, and I can only tell that because you've mentioned Bach but I don't know what you're saying about Bach or how you're relating it to Becher. Again, I'm sorry, but it's become rare that I comprehend what you're saying and even whether it's you saying it or someone else saying it.</p>

<p>OK, I get those distinctions. There may also be a thin distinction between art and artful sophistry when it comes to my sensibilities over blight as a subject of a photograph.</p>

<p>Fred thanks for saying so.</p>

<p>Michael L. Thanks for response. I also found new threads within the topic. <br /> Finding something unique in mobs of people is a special challenge I enjoy that could be likened to FFB as described here. The challenge is being quick enough to capture somebody else similarly enthralled by the antics of the other photographers (everyone on earth with a cell phone) trying for the same thing. <br>

<p>I want to toss the ball to the viewer. I am wary of titles and want the viewer to consciously bring something of themselves to the picture - "Title" it in their own mind.</p>

<p>Just to be clear, as a response to things said in this thread, this is part of what I was trying to think about in this thread, NOT what I do with my photos nor an overall project I have. Very frequently, I've talked about photography for me being a collaboration/dialogue both with the people I photograph and with viewers and with history.</p>

<p>Fred G.<br>

I know you have explicitly stressed the collaborative aspect of your work.. Sorry for the response I gave that overlooked (ignored ) that. I have a new topic that I hope continues with more in the same vein as influences of outcome that make each photographer and photograph unique. </p>

<p>I am grateful to you all for turning my intro into a such a sincere and thoughtful discussion. I really don't have any more of an idea of which elements play the major role in establishing continuity in photographs than anyone else. It is indeed an open-ended question.<br>

Thank you for all your comments. </p>

<p>Drive-by comment:<br /> If it were, would not it more properly be <br /> <strong>PH</strong>ANTASY PHOTOGRAPHY</p>
