It surely is already obvious for most (and probably all) of us that, scanning 3d objects with a scanner gives near photographical quality images of the scanned objects (though with a shallow depth of field). I also see in some sources of photography -in the ones especially dealing with alternative image producing techniques- that, there are many examples of images obtained with photocopying or scanning. But, what actually is the cathegorisation for an image out of a scanner..? Is it "photography", or "digital photography", or something like "scanography", or yet another definition..?
