Oxford (or any other dictionary) "defines" a word based on it's common usage(s)
at the time the dictionary was published.  Definitions change over time.
Whenever a new Oxford edition comes out, there are news stories of "new" words
that are added.

Any bets that in upcoming editions (and it may take a few years), the definition
of photography is amended to include digital techniques?

cheers,
frank
