How to receive images with the Telegram API?

Question

Is it possible to receive images (and store it on the server) which was sent by any user to the bot?

If a image was sent, I receive this JSON post. This is a link to the Telegram Bot-API description. I don't know if it's possible to receive the whole image or not: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#available-types

{"update_id":XXXXX,
"message":{"message_id":2222,"from":{"id":XXXXX,"first_name":"Christoph","last_name":"XXXXX"},"chat":{"id":XXXXX,"first_name":"Christoph","last_name":"XXXXX"},"date":1435704055,"forward_from":{"id":XXXXX,"first_name":"Christoph","last_name":"XXXXX"},"forward_date":1435703471,"photo":[{"file_id":"AgADAgADmaoxG9KknwF4O978o3EMqb_EWSoABI5s-WWq46dqiR0AAgI","file_size":998,"width":51,"height":90},{"file_id":"AgADAgADmaoxG9KknwF4O978o3EMqb_EWSoABHax4HvxYqktiB0AAgI","file_size":9912,"width":180,"height":320},{"file_id":"AgADAgADmaoxG9KknwF4O978o3EMqb_EWSoABNzzDwp3sT2whx0AAgI","file_size":41020,"width":450,"height":800},{"file_id":"AgADAgADmaoxG9KknwF4O978o3EMqb_EWSoABE0Gg-AefJ7Yhh0AAgI","file_size":66058,"width":720,"height":1280}]}}
