I think that putting leaves or other items on a sensitized material and exposing to light, used to be called something like photogram. There was a "scientific play" kit that came with plastic "negatives" a frame to hold the paper and of course a light sensitive paper that turned sort of purple when exposed to the sun. I don't remember if there was some way to "fix" the image as I got the kit when I was approximately 10 years old.

Yes I found that part intriguing. Hadn't thought  about it, now I might try
it. (i.e. scanner image/collage).

Marnie aka  Doe :-)  It was an interesting article, Paul.

And according to some of the art museum curators interviewed for the  Times
article, it doesn't necessarily involve a camera or lens. An example would
be a photographic image made by arranging objects on a scanner, then
printing  the resulting digital file. But no one is really trying to provide a
firm  answer, just raising the question.
