Yes, Frank, that is how the human mind tends to work. Without catorgorizing everything in our head has the same value. Buy catorgorizing we can separate them out and find a particular memory more quickly, just like putting things in different folders on your hard drive makes it easier to find a particular file.
In fact the mind works so much that way that several memory systems devised to improve recall work by assigning things imaginary locations in the mind. Usually rooms or cabinets. Strangely the systems quite often work better if we misfile things deliberately in an extreme manner (we are a contrary species). graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- frank theriault wrote:

I agree with you about the "who gives a crap what lens is used" thing. I'd go a step further and wonder why we even have to define something as a "street photo", "macro", "architecture", whatever. I guess that's just the way the human brain works: we seem to be hardwired with this insatiable desire to pigeon-hole everything. If a category doesn't exist to stick something into, we'll "invent" one.
