Yes they are. But I like to think that "intentional" photography is a bit
more enchanting than the fortuitous variety. Ha!

If the mark is caused by the surrounding grass's having become greener
owing to exposure to the sun, then yes, it should be considered
photography. If on the other hand, the grass under the can dies because
it was deprived of sunlight...then I don't know. Seems we always define
photography as a response TO light, not as an effect resulting from the
deprivation of light.
Fun stuff. My brain even woke up for this thread!
