"Photo graph" = "light picture". Until someone invents the pigment-based display, all 
computer-based images are photo graphs. Back in the early days of digital television 
graphics systems, the BBC ran a series called "Painting with Light" in which famous artists 
like David Hockney were invited to create a work on screen using the digital paintbox. 
Even if you don't go near a camera, a panographer or VRtist is by definition a photo-
grapher.

The only real borders are in our own minds.

Gosh, that's profound for a Sunday morning!
