we are in a 2 dimensional segment called artists. From there you have many subcatgories, ie: oil painting, watercolor, drawing, acrylics, photography, and a few more. Each of these can have subcatagories as well. Photography has two disintinct main catgories. Analog and digital. Under Analog we have the subcatagories of silver gelatin, alternative process, wet/dryplate and such. Under digital, you have the two catagories and that is it, Non photoshopped, and photoshopped.
For those who say that analog and digital are the same thing photography where light is captured, well that can be argued too. With film you use light sensitive emulsion to chemically through the contact of light wavelengths change the chemical composition by oxidation. With digital you have micro portions of a second devoted to layering in upon each other different intensities of light excited pixels to digitize the wave lengths into 0's and 1's This is then processed via computer chips and other devises to be out put. Analog depends on a camera and some sort of light sensitve chemically treated base to capture that images wave lengths. The addition of lenses helps to clarify that image further. As for digital, a camera is not nesecary. You must have some sort of chip to store the information. Neither is it dependent on a lens for clarification. Physics defines how the analog image is captured via the seperation of wavelengths and the length of distance from image to chemical sensitive substrate to capture said light wavelengths. Digital doesn't need this physical constraint. What holds back analog is the size of the camera and the film that it can use. What holds back digital is the size of the chip it uses for storage. Analog captures minutia, digital is like digital music, it only captures a certain range. Both given that there is no operator error.
As to the argument that digital is tired of hearing us defend ourselves, well then is it not time for digital to not attack? We start from a similar basis like oil is to acrylics, but they are two different mediums, but still painting. Take that further and you have painting that has it's basis in drawing. Tell an oil painter they drew a pretty picture and see what they have to say.
To me it is enough to say analog and digital. if digital doesn't like the moniker, they can figure out what to call themselves. but luddite analog is taken.
