Question

Similarity between photography and maps

Answer 1

Answer:A map is a diagram. It has points and lines which represent things in the real world, and the spatial relationships between them, without (usually) looking anything like those things do in the real world. They normally show spatial relationships that are current and are expected to remain the same for a long time (or that did remain the same for a long time).

A photograph is a record of (within technological limitations) what light was reaching a particular point, from a particular direction, at a point in time. It is flat and does not show spatial relationships. (But you can combine the photograph with other knowledge of the real world to estimate them: such as, I know that sheep are about the same size, and in the photograph that sheep appears smaller, so it was probably further away.)

So you could say, the difference is that maps are a long-term abstract representation of spatial relationships, and photographs are a record of a scene at a particular instant.

They are both graphical representations of an observed reality. Both how ever are not reality.
