Mickey,
        I checked out the mushroom photo/scan.  I don't think it is a very good
photo, but it certainly is photography.  One person argued that one must
have a lens/shutter combination:  What about pinhole?  What about
Photograms?  They use photo paper.  What about Emulsion/image
transfers/SX-70 manipulations of polaroids?  They look less like a
photograph than the mushroom, and don't use traditional photographic paper.
Sure, there's very little work involved in putting some mushrooms on a
scanner, and I think the results are uninteresting.  Someone, however, may
put something on a scanner that is.  My 2 cents.
