Re: Non traditional photographs
Considering that D-SLRs are now somewhat common, and there is nothing really new about stitching, that would imply that the technique and tools are now traditional. Without your explanation of tools and technique, we are left with the images. Those are how we should decide traditional or non-traditional, and not how they were created. Just on subject matter, I would place them in the style of the Beckers, or similar manufactured landscapes . . . somewhat contemporary, though by now this style might have been around long enough to fit the traditional moniker.

Re: Non traditional photographs
how about we just get back onto topic and stop arguing. How about more folks post up images! :) I think we are mature enough to do that!
Re: Non traditional photographs
Ageorge, I might not like your attitude, but I am enjoying your images

Some of the work was done in the dark, and some in direct sunlight, to develop out and solarize portions of the image.
The second is from her "botanicals" series, which were made by placing objects both on the photo paper and on the negative carrier.
Anne's "body in transformation" work is the most beautifully analog work I've seen. She's exploring things that can ONLY be done with traditional materials ... in the same way that painters, after photography came along, started doing things that could only be done with paint.
The images of your friends in the post are amazing. Wow... Just beautiful..
