i'll bite. although i'm not completely sure what it means still. i'm taking it as my own interpretation using photography on viewing another piece of work not originally intended as art.

The subject as such is not uninteresting but I think maybe you should have raised it under Artistic questions.
As has been pointed out by others, normally I don't upload at PBase pictures taken for working purpose.
Mostly I even don't remember the pictures taken. Just because I thought it had some artistic merits
already when I took it, I was able to find back the picture below and uploaded it for this purpose.
Picture was originally used for a claim. To underline the problem I have increased the contrast before
it was sent to the supplier.



Good luck

OK, here is my version, although this is my own work, not someone elses. These are three of a series of posters I created for a "branding" campaign conducted by our local library. I am not sure if this fits the vernacular catagory or not, but then again, as I get older, I am becoming more of a non-conformist.

These pictures were taken (by myself) with a specific purpose, to record the events taking place and to be used as an example of work safety awareness. Also, I was quite happy with their technical/artistical merits... So... vernacular or not?

I have no idea if this is on topic, but here's my try...
