The graphic artist in me says it's valid. But as photography...?
Some folks regard a quality flatbed scanner as the equivalent to a large
format studio camera for still lifes and montages. I've seen some excellent
work along this line. Heck, I've *done* some work like that, tho' my
efforts have been spotty at best.
Hmm...I'd say it's photography if *any* use of the digital capture medium is
photography, sure. What's the diff between a digital "camera" and a
scanner? One has a lens, the other doesn't. A pinhole camera doesn't have
a lens, per se. We could really split some hairs over this one.

I recently made some comments on the 'photo of the week' at www.photo.net
that an image of a mushroom made by placing the mushroom on a scanner bed
is not photography...I'd like to know what you think.
