...I wonder if ALSC might want to review that question of whether the photos need to be taken by the artist -- since, for example, in collage, photos take on new meaning and impact when juxtaposed by an artist. I would argue that in excellent NF design photos can become a new aesthetic element, created by the designer/author just as much as photos do in collage -- with the added power that the images also convey meaning related to the text.
