For me it's splitting hairs. E.g. the British magazine "Practical Photography" has a big contest with great prizes. They call for readers to send "photographs", yet they accept slides, traditional prints, and inkjet prints. How come? Maybe for them it's the image that matters? And, as I understand, the rules of the Agfa competition talk about the basic medium being analogue (i.e. film). The output they're being sent doesn't matter, as long as the original can be printed on their multicontrast paper. So i guess they also would accept an inkjet print as a photograph. On the other hand, however, they don't live in caves (I presume)... ;-) Regards, Lukasz
