Since I have used the analogy before, and since I still consider it apt, here goes: if 100 monkeys turn out 300 pages of crap, is picking out a page or two or twelve where the random typing created a word considered "editing"?

Is it? Seriously. You can do better than this. You claim to have set out to discover something about the editing process. In order to do this, you shot 300 more or less random pictures without looking through the viewfinder. Twelve self-selected people then took it upon themselves to select (or as you call it, "edit") up to ten images and mail you their selections. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
