A question to fellow artists and...well, everyone actually.

General
So, I have a stockpile of about. .. 145 images I need to scan and put on here (i've been busy). I was holding out on getting a scanner for christmas, that didn't happen. So I'm going to have to go out in search for one.
Until then however, I have these pieces of art that I"d like to go ahead and start putting up. I know that for larger pieces and sculpture work it's alright to take a photograph, but what about other works? Should I set them up to be photographed as well?
What are your suggestions and how do you go about handling these types of issues?
Thank you everyone for your time!

Of course the trick with photographing art is proper lighting. That means natural daylight, though not direct sunlight. Avoid using a flash as that will cause flaring and reflections that result in inconsistent lighting across the picture. Try different settings on the camera and experiment. It doesn't cost anything but some time to take multiple digital pictures and keep the one that looks best.
