"He announced that every published image would be a picture, not a photograph—a statement that allowed Stieglitz to determine which was which by his scientific method."

This sentence doesn't make any sense at all, to the extent that I don't even know how to fix it. I might delete it.

It means that not all photographs have artistic merit and are worthy of being published in a journal.

[edit] Images

As I believe the portion of his work published in the United States before 1923 is PD-US copyright status, perhaps an exaple or two of his better early work might be good to add to the article? -- Infrogmation 20:04, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fountain

The photo of Duchamp's Fountain doesn't seem at all representative of Stieglitz's art. >>sparkit|TALK<< 21:00, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree this photo is not representative. Since I discovered that a copy of The Steerage and an O'Keefe portrait were available to us, I made the change. The Fountain could also be added back if anyone feels strongly about it. I removed it because I think the page would look too crowded. SteveHopson 21:25, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Seems a good choice to me. See also my note above. -- Infrogmation 23:20, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
