Photo mags of the 1930s have plenty of harrumphing about "miniature
cameras" not being *real* photography... "Miniature" was of course 35 mm,
sometimes also 2-1/4.
What happens is cameras & films get better, and a new aesthetic is
discovered, etc. etc.
Same will probably happen with inkjet -- although here's a new one. At the
Lucas Samaras show now at Whitney Museum, there's a room of his
manipulations on Apple computer, as seen in what are CLEARLY digital
prints of whatever machine. For medium the wall label lists "Pure
Pigment." Period.
