  By default, the image is mapped onto the x-y-plane. The image is 
projected onto the object as though there were a slide projector 
somewhere in the -z-direction. The image exactly fills the square area 
from (x,y) coordinates (0,0) to (1,1) regardless of the image's original 
size in pixels.

What is mostly done is something like this:
  box {
      < 0, 0, 0 >
      < 1, 1, 1 >
      pigment {
        image_map {jpeg "puppy.jpg"}
      }
     scale 2
     rotate (if needed)
     translate (if needed)
    }

Have Fun!
