Abstract
Using an algorithm that treats photons and hadrons democratically, we discuss how the quark to photon fragmentation function, D(q-->gamma), might be measured in 'photon' + jet events at LEP. Simple analytic res ults are given at lowest order. The possibility of determining the glu on to photon fragmentation function, D(g-->gamma), in 'photon' + 2 jet events is also discussed, however, the prospects for doing so seem bl eak.
