Fine Art Photography -- What is it?

I've sold photographs. I have been taking pictures and selling them since the mid-70s. The Stars & Stripes and the European edition of TV Guide published nice articles after I won first place in several categories of the annual HQ USEUCOM (Military Forces, Europe) Photography Contest. I was nearly overwhelmed with portrait photography requests. Portrait photography was probably my most profitable photography experience.
I continued to sell photographs and articles to newspapers, magazines and advertising agencies as a motorsports photojournalist through the mid-80s. Even in the last few years, I have accepted assignments to cover selected motorcycle races for magazines.
It wasn't until recently, however, that I considered fine art photography. I love taking landscapes and wildlife pictures. I have some really beautiful images of beautiful things and beautiful places. But, to call my work fine art seems a bit pompous. Was taking those pictures creative? I did a Google search on fine art photography. Here's what I found on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is my most authoratative source of information. I may not be an Ansel Adams but I'm a fine art photographer. :-)
I've done a lot of thinking on the subject since taking steps to promote my name in the fine art field. An acquaintance, former editor of Dirt Rider Magazine, sells his images of Motocross Legends as fine art. I have since learned that calendars and fine art prints of these legends sell quite well. And, they are expressly presented as fine art prints. This classic image of motocross legend David Bailey at the Unadilla MX Track, New Berlin, NY was taken in 1983. When printed on fine art paper using the giclée printing process it is fine art. I have tons of this stuff. If my beautiful landscapes and wildlife prints don't sell, surely the legends will. :-)
Hope you find my research on fine art interesting.
