Title says ‘snapped’, yet the content in the article is artists that are coping and optimistic and reflecting on the interestingness of the situation, and how the meaning of photographs are changing because of it. Seems like the title was designed to be overly dramatic.

It's a play on words, "snap" also meaning, "to take a photograph."

It is probably a pun the author could not resist. Dramatic? Perhaps. Amusing? Definitely.

Should have gone with:

The World’s Great Photographers, Many Shuttered Inside, Snap

It's really sad to see them lose their composition like this.

It's a photography pun. The whole thread is photography puns.

Just as well they seem to have stopped down pretty quick. I don't think there's enough depth of field to really capture the subject.

Developing this thread is just panning for a negative reaction. Even low-key jokes are frowned upon on HN.

I mention this correction only because it remains surprisingly significant in todays world: Most new authors have zero influence on the headlines. This is (partly) why you see so many headlines that are clearly contradicted by the associated article.

Damnit, now I know I’ve been inside reading bad news too long. I just told my wife this pun that I failed to get, and she is literally rolling on the floor laughing at me.

Literally literally, or just lol?

I literally fight this battle with my kid every day. That word is the new "like".

FWIW, literally has been used to mean figurative emphasis for over 200 years... I used to correct my kids too, but then realized that all my ideas about common grammar mistakes are wrong. ‘Myriad of’ isn’t incorrect, the word myriad began as a noun, just like dyad or triad. ‘I am good’ is a perfectly fine way to respond to ‘how are you?’ There’s nothing wrong with verbing nouns, etc., etc.. It seems like it has become fashionable to write blogs posts complaining about other people’s grammar mistakes. (Though, maybe articles whinging about bad grammar is a past-time as old as dirt...) I’ve stopped believing any grammar complaints because there’s a lot of misinformation. Plus, the cool thing about language is that it changes. Something being used incorrectly by the majority of a population makes it de-facto correct. Anyway, you gotta sit back and enjoy the word fads that kids go through. They do grow out of weird word habits that seem annoying all by themselves. They just say certain words a lot because all their friends are saying them too, so there’s no way us parents scolding them for it will convince them it’s uncool; it’ll just make them think their parents are old... which we are. ;)

I might in danger of failing to get another joke here, but she was lying on the floor while I was typing that, so yes literally literally.

I feel more and more that newspapers should avoid all kinds of figurative language and express all in the most functional plain language.

Reading hacker news has made me think the same thing. I'm not sure why people seem to have no problem with being bated and lied to to get their attention.
