Montography

A photographic image technique, not apparently widely known or published, except on the inventor's web page. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 03:00, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as non-notable (but who doesn't love a "crystal [that] possess[es] super-artistic powers"?). Joe 03:10, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, "vanity photographic effect"...vanity? Royboycrashfan 03:21, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Yeah, the author threw that into the description after I described it that way in my PROD tag, which he or she removed... a little odd. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 03:24, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I think perhaps the article means to say that the technique is a vanity one, scilicet that it relates to the appearance of the photograph and is unnecessary for the production of any given photo (he/she means to employ, I think, the physical and not the metaphysical sense of the word)...

• Don't Delete, this is not by any means a widely known technique which is why it must be defined. Please have a look at [1] for more examples of this wonderful and amazing technique. He built the lens himself it must be montography? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thestatebird (talk • contribs) 04:13, April 10, 2006 (User's ninth edit)

• Comment That "this is not by any means a widely known technique" seems to militate strongly against its inclusion in the encyclopedia. Joe 04:17, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

• • Comment WP is neither a promotional venue nor a web host. Try Geocities, or perhaps pitch it to a trade magazine or a DIY magazine. Haikupoet 04:21, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

• Strong delete this "innovation" sounds and looks identical to kaleidoscopic and prismatic multi-image filter systems - as have been in use and production for decades. It certainly is not called "montography". I know for a fact that these systems were in use in the 1970s, but were almost certainly in use long before that. Grutness...wha? 07:15, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
