yes, and i decided not to bring that point into the discussion.
Man, I'm just not as sofiddicated as some a y'alls.
Here is a problem, I am working on a project right now that is a homage to Edward Weston. I am scanning some seashells, including a split natuilus. So what is this called? A scanner is basiclly a camera, but few think of it as one.
It's not a camera obscura, as it lights the subject from within itself.
Seriously, what is it's classicalification?
I like that word. Do you know G.W.Bush?
Seriously, I think 'digital scanner' describes the machine best (to distinguish from photocopier) and the product I would call a 'digital scan'. Maybe just 'scanner' and 'scan' are enough these days.
Or, does it just fall into my "digital art" frame. When i show these I am not sure what "label" should be attached.
Some may look at them and just think a basic photograph, as they are very straight forward, but are they?
IMO, they are in the most literal meaning, photographs, but in the interest of clear description, I would definitely not call them that. I wouldn't call a photocopy a photograph, and it's an analog process, removing the whole "if it's digital is it a photograph" aspect.
