Probably originated w/ Macintosh users. The file type for
an image much like a .bmp is named PICT ; ie. 8BIM/PICT
would be a bitmapped image file created by PhotoShop (at
least PShop v2.5 for the Mac ;)
Personally, I always try to refer to my photography results
as "photographs", as opposed to the shortened "photos".
(Just a semantic differentiation between mundane snapshots and
the more contemplated aire of a deliberate approach to rendering
a particular 3-D scene/time to a permanent 2 dimensional
representation of the same capable of some finite time of
continuing existence, I suppose. Silly Me! :^)
