I'd like to make clear that I hate the abbreviations:

pix, pics, and fotos

My standards:
*pictures - random, spontaneous pictures of friends during events which may be blurry and/or mediocre in quality or off-center
*photographs - clean, crisp, quality pieces of art that are taken with specific artistic intent

AMEN.
