I think i am looking for something simpler than detecting a document boundaries in a photo. I am only trying to flag photos which are mostly of documents rather than just a normal scene photo. is this an easier problem to solve?

What characterises a photo that is mostly of a document, compared to a "normal scene" photo? Perhaps try to collect a statistically meaningful sample of such pictures, so that you can analyze them and learn how to tell the difference.

Are the documents mostly white? If so, you could analyse the images for white content above a certain percentage. Generally text documents only have about 10% printed content on them in total.
