It seems to me that a large number of people is not happy with the current dictionary definition of the word "photography". It appears that they would like it to include more than the traditional prints obtained "on sensitized surfaces by the chemical action of light".

You need to update your dictionary. From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, � 1996, 1998 MICRA, Inc.:


\Pho*tog"ra*phy\, n. [Photo- + -graphy: cf. F. photographie.] 1. The science which relates to the action of light on sensitive bodies in the production of pictures, the fixation of images, and the like.

They keep updating these things because the world changes and words change with them. I have an old dictionary here somewhere that defines the atom as the smallest, indivisible, particle of matter.
