When the camera was first invented, many painters were worried that drawing and painting would be replaced by photography. But one painter of that time, referring to photography's ability to record reality, said with assurance: "If cameras can't go up into heaven or down into hell, photographs will never replace paintings."
在相機發明當時，許多畫家都擔心繪畫將被攝影所取代，不過當時一位畫家針對攝影的記實性篤定地表示「如果照片不能到達天堂或地獄，那照片就不可能取代繪畫。」
