What makes photographs different from drawings or paintings?
Photographs, drawings and paintings are all means of rendering an image of a scene. But they are fundamentally different media. Photographs are made by physically (chemically or digitally) capturing the light from a scene on film or a digital sensor. Photographs were originally intended to render a "true" image of a scene. Drawings are done by hand with pencil or pen and ink or chalk or other media on drawing paper. Paintings are done with water colors or oils using brushes or pallet knives on paper, board, or canvas.On the other hand, any medium can be manipulated by almost any means. For example, photographers have the option of choosing focal length and camera position to manipulate perspective, just as the graphic artist does. Any artist in any medium can frame the picture in any manner to include or exclude anything. Graphic artists can include or exclude things in the frame as they draw or paint. Photographers have long had the ability to retouch negatives or manipulate prints, and now we have PhotoShop and other tools that allow photographers to do - anything!There are painters and graphic artists who work hard to reproduce scenes photographically. In the 1850's a school of artists called themselves Realists. Some of their paintings are so realistic you feel that you could reach in and take something out. There was a group of photographers calling themselves Pictorialists who worked to make their photographs look "painterly." Any medium is simply a means to an end. They just get there by different routes.

Yes. At the time Annie began photography, there was no other way to develop pictures.

Whats the avrage hours of a photographer? Photographers work whenever there is light. No, really, in all seriousness, photography is such a wide-ranging field that it is really impossible to come up with 'average' hours. And if we could come up with a number, it would be meaningless. There are free-lance photographers, journalist photographers, portrait photographers, fine-arts oriented photographers, nature photographers that work independently or who might land a dream job with National Geographic, and there are many, many other branches.
Why do people believe photographs tell the truth about an event?
When the photography is the unique visible source about an event, they believe until other information come about. -------------------------------------------------------- In the early days of photography the saying was,"The camera cannot lie." and that was true at that time because the camera produced a negative which could not be altered, and the negative produced a positive which could not be altered. Photographers began to put colours onto photographs, especially those of people, but that did not alter the truth of the photo. Nowadays there are programmes for computers where you can change anything at all when the photo is in the computer. So the saying is not true nowadays.
How many photography businesses are there in the US?
I believe that would be a very difficult number to calculate. Photographers are amateurs unless paid for their work. So any photographers that have a business of there own, whether they advertise that or not they are still a business. You could get a general number but I think that would only be the very well known photographers.
