See now I have to agree with Greg there.   There is a big difference between a Photographer with a cell phone or even a Tomoko (designer or other artist who understand composition and lighting) with a cell phone or PS (Tomoko's PS shoots raw :-O)   and non photographer with a cell phone or PS.

Quoting Jan's remarks. Focus is critical unless there is a distinct even definable reason to blur an image. Logos, brand names, signs are generally held to be readable....if they play a central role to composition. Or, the specific entity does not want there logo or sine to be seen.

A huge amount of viewers to anyone's image, likes to understand. Bike enthusiasts as an example, love to see the bike's brand name.

Just raise your autofocus, auto exposure auto framing, auto-stitching device without looking either through the finder or at the screen with a magnifier and put your finger on the gorilla glass to produce a great piece of “art” as well as the synthetic replicated sound of a Nikon F motor drive.

The problem with this comment, you are comparing the dedicated photographer who takes his or her's craft seriously to those who point and shoot in an effort to argue the point. Art (regardless of the medium in my opinion) follows culture with only a few exceptions. Those who linger in the past will eventually asked to leave the room.

That is of course until everyone is thoroughly bored with digital and start going back to film, because grain and difficulty of controlling film is the new hotness.

Just because you justified what I saw as an uninteresting image, using polaroid more as an excuse, in no way dictates I should feel any different about the image.

The best camera is the one you have with you !   Digital, Phone, photography is here to stay and your beloved Nikon F, "real" film, Polaroid, Kodak, Ilford, Kodachrome, etc., are all obsolete, or in some cases GONE.  R.I.P., we shall not see your like again.
