Forensic photography seems to me to be a very straightforward example
of photography as communication.  You're trying to communicate *what
the crime scene was like*, aren't you?  Sometimes in regard to very
specific details.  

It's not much of *anything* like artistic photography, of course, or
even good photojournalism.  But I don't think the lack of an element
of communication has much to do with the differences.  It's more a
difference of *what* is being communicated, and where it comes from.
