Last night a philosopher friend Nick Pappas and I had this very conversation-about the properties of photo vs painting and drawing. WJT Mitchell in Intention and Artifice isolates an essential difference- the referent adheres in a photo- you can paint a unicorn but not photograph one (irrefutable, no?). Nick argued that a camera is an object- you point and record, even if you make a mistake or someone jostles your hand you record a specific moment in time whereas a drawing records a moment in consciousness.
