>>Last year at the APIS convention in Scotland, Dusan Stulik of the
Getty
Museum defined a photograph (this is a rough paraphrase from memory) as
an image created on photo-sensitive materials that could be fixed for
permanence. In this sense, a sun tan is not a photograph...unless
perhaps
embalming could "fix" the image in place.<<

Or perhaps our tans are photographs but just a bit more fugative than
many inkjet prints.
