B) flawed photos manipulated to mask those flaws through copious use of special effects.

C) I puke seeing the crap.

While I respect your right to say your piece I find your attitude pompus, shortsighted and a display of pure ignorance. Your lack of imagination is only surpassed by your immature outlook on art.

noone capable of producing art needs to go around calling himself an "artist" and his work "art".

Oh please, you are obviously looking for anything to justify your elitist postion. Anyone that wants to can call themselves an artist. A simple phrase placed below a name is a simply used for descriptive purposes. There is nothing to be hung up on here.

Tell you what Wenting, pick out one of my abstracts and give it your best shot. Back up your opinion with a real world review. No holds barred.

Let's see if you have the fortitude to justify your obstinate view points.
