And how about a flatbed scanner? Eight or nine years ago I submitted an image produced by a flatbed scanner and remarked it was 100 percent digital. Someone,who is still on the list, commented that such a thing was not possible
the classic definition of a photograph
is something that's been drawn or painted with light (from the greek:
photo, light and graph, to draw) regardless of the *camera*
used....here's a little treatise from Wikipedia:
Most photographs are made with a camera, which focuses the light onto either photographic film or a CCD or CMOS image sensor. Photographs can also be made by placing objects on photosensitive paper and exposing it to light (the result is often called a photogram) or by placing objects on the platen of a flatbed scanner (see scanner art).
therefore I think it stands to reason that an
image constructed of binary code is not a photograph and more properly
belongs in another venue.
Thanks to Andy....and Chris....for opening up this
discussion....it's been most.....enlightening
