Q.G., what I mean is: I do not want to attach this label to other photographer´s work. I do use it for mine. And whoever wants to use it, may do it. But since we invented the label, we are defining the rules.
That is well understood.
But you have to understand too that, by the mere act of creating such a label, you (!) are saying something about photographs in general. It being that there are such you think are genuine, and such that are not. No matter whether you say something about some particular photographs or not.
This entire 'thing' here is not about whether your choice of photograph you personally would like to attach your label to is the right choice.
It is about whether the idea itself makes sense.
I still don't see how it could. I have said why not a couple of times, so will not go into tat again.
But i will say again that you can't keep believing that the opposition to your idea stems from no more than people not understanding what you mean. They, we do. We really do. And we (or i, at least) don't like it.
And finally, I am making a last try: "Genuine Photograph" -as used in the context of our website, is to be understood as fix term like a brand name, not as a description. We are giving a definition for this term. This is why we write it with capitals.
Well no. It's far too late for that.
You have indeed defined what you understand a "genuine" photograph to be. It's not just an empty label, not just a 'brand name' without intended meaning.
Your aim is clear, you (the site) said what a photograph needs to be to be allowed to have the label you thought up attached to it.
You can't back out of the criticism the idea has received by simply saying that it means nothing.
