Did anyone bother to notice that I did NOT say that photographs were NPOV, or very NPOV? :-\
Well, I noticed that you said
"So, umm, just what opinions does a photograph have? As long as they aren't doctored or staged, photographs are about as NPOV as it gets around here. You _can_ make a POV photograph, but you have to try. The inclusion or not is where the POV usually starts to creep in. And it seems to be trying to do so now."
It sounds to me--and apparently I've misunderstood this--as if you are saying that photographs are inherently NPOV unless they are doctored or staged. It sounds to me as if you are also saying that it takes effort to make an undoctored photograph which is POV.
Failing to disagree with you respectfully the last time, I will disagree with you respectfully now. I would argue that taking a POV photograph is a function of having a camera.
But perhaps I've misunderstood what you mean, again, which I seem wont to do. If so, please explain how.
best,
