1839!
The word "photograph" was coined in 1839 by Sir John Herschel and is based on the Greek φῶς (phos), meaning "light", and γραφή (graphê), meaning "drawing, writing", together meaning "drawing with light"
Photo- LightGraph- DrawingIt means Light Drawing.The term comes from The Greek word phos, photos - light and graphos - writing. The word photography means writing with light but most photographers claim they are painting with light!This 'writing with light' or as us photographers say ' painting with light' was first reputed to have been termed by Sir John Herschel to William Henry Fox Talbot in letter in 1839. Herschel was an English astronomer who also devised the words negative and positive and I believe the word snapshot. A lot of his work involved chemistry which was the forerunner of the black and white processes. Henry Fox Talbot was the inventor of the negative positive process of photography. He was an English gentleman, chemist, mathematician, linguist and archeologist.
The word photography has four syllables. Pho-to-graph-y.
I am scheduled to be in the photography class.
It seems you are referring to the Bible. The first line of the Book of John is "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

The word "photo" comes from the Greek word "phōs" which means "light" and the Greek word "graphē" which means "drawing" or "writing". Thus, "photo" can be translated to "light drawing" or "light writing".
