The article referred to defines the genre as having no literal interpretation. How do your photos qualify for the title in Stieglitz’ terms of reference?

I took the title from this portion of the description:
Stieglitz took at least 220 photographs that he called Equivalent or Equivalents; all feature clouds in the sky.
where I took (presented) only 8 photos featuring clouds in the sky. 😉
However, for sure, Stieglitz' body of photos, Equivalents, was something else entirely. Of course, there is more to the reason for using the title -- since all the photos were of the "same scene", one might say that they are "equivalent", even though they are rather different photos with no real apparent connection, aside from being of a landscape genre.
