What is a Lensography?
Lensography Defined
A lensography is defined as a collection of lenses listed together on a single lens, highlighted, organized and categorized. A lensograph is a way of seeing the types of topics that interest a particular lensmaster.
Many lensmasters also include personal information about him or herself, much like a biography.
This definition is a combination of several definitions of lensographies from the original Squidoo Lensographers e.g. (Thefluffanutta, MrLewisSmile and N376 a.k.a. Glen)
