I think.. any photos, any writings can be a work of art or literature when those photos or writings were taken or written under serious intension and strong conviction.

>It may become literature if I put it in a context where it conveys something of general/universal interest.

I understand you put more artistic value on laborious work than spontaneous one, but I must say the work of genius often requires no great time and energy but simply an inspiration to come up with artistic work.
