i think most people know how the first idols where brought about and worshipped.
So even though photography might be ok in principle, it's gotta be iterated that they're not suppose to be stuck around on walls or be used to 'seek blessings' from 'pious ones' as some sufis n other wacky people do... otherwise the same ruling for drawing applies to photo.
That's nto the only reason for the illegality of drawing, it's another reason that (because of it) makes photo's permissible and hand drawing, modelling, live sculpting non permissible. But this is long enough.
