What is the definition of "photographic"?  Popular Photography
magazine (note the journal's name) contains digital photography.
In fact, the term "digital photography" implies that photography
includes digital means to the image-producing end.

Does it matter if one knows if things were done digitally or
not?  Taking film down to a photo-store, one might not know
if the Fuji printer talked about had been used to make the
prints (thus having been digitized and digitally printed within
the machine if I understand what was being talked about).  One
making a Holmes card using Kodak print film may actually be making
a digital card.  Would awards have to be revoked if it was discovered
to be "digital" later?
