Let's see your Pictorialism photos..

from Wiki:

Pictorialism is the name given to an international style and aesthetic movement that dominated photography during the later 19th and early 20th centuries. There is no standard definition of the term, but in general it refers to a style in which the photographer has somehow manipulated what would otherwise be a straightforward photograph as a means of "creating" an image rather than simply recording it. Typically, a pictorial photograph appears to lack a sharp focus (some more so than others), is printed in one or more colors other than black-and-white (ranging from warm brown to deep blue) and may have visible brush strokes or other manipulation of the surface. For the pictorialist, a photograph, like a painting, drawing or engraving, was a way of projecting an emotional intent into the viewer's realm of imagination.[1]

If you're still unsure, here's a list of some pictorial photographers (there's many more, of course).

Take the above as a guide.. I've seen black and white photos I'd consider pictorialist, and I find pinhole images and those taken with vintage uncoated lenses or hazy lenses often produce pictorial pictures.. as can vintage printing processes like gum-dichromate. I'll leave it up to you!
