Abstract
The article discusses a range of artworks that appropriate, emulate, or copy the photographic works of amateur photographers, especially the photographic album. Examining a variety of processes that have generated such works and taking issue with critical claims for originality and universality, the article questions whether anything of vernacular photography's specificity and private nature can survive its transformation into a public work of art.
