[Digital BW] Re: naming these things revived

Using the term "photograph" or "images" works well if you are having 
your own show but if you are part of a group show with other artists 
using various media or if you are submitting prints to a juried 
exhibition you are usually asked to give a specific name for the 
media you are using...which of course ends up on the label or tag.
