Well, what would you call a photograph of a computer screen?  I can set
my camera up to photograph my display and thus meet your criteria that
the image was photographed.  I can also, with the proper equipment, send
my computer generated image directly to film and then send the roll in
to have it developed and mounted/printed.

It's not simple and the rules seem ambiguous enough to permit this in
certain circles.  Besides,
I've seen some of Boris' work and it's great!
