According to Islam, pics of living things are not permissible because god says it does not have life in it, only God can create life. So when u treat a pic like the main entity itself it is a sin (the concept of ideal workship). so God elimiates this concept by prohibitng pics.

Before advicing Muslims on Images,please know Islam doesnt prohinit images in general,it is images as objects of worship is what forbidden.Imaginary Image carvings is very different from image relay,telecast etc these things are not prohbited.In fact Muslims pioneered Image analaysis,Optics before the world learnt from them.Many non imagerial patterns which today the bedrock of mathematics also came from Muslims.
Check The Institution of Engineering and Technology which is one of the worlds leading professional societies for the engineering and technology community and see why Abul Hassan (AlHazen) is called Father of optics
see this College of Optical Sciences,University of Arizona by Prof. Charles M. Falco Chair of Condensed Matter Physics (World top most expert on Image analsysis)
..Ibn Al-Haytham And The Origins Of Modern Image Analysis...

Mr. balaord, whatever is your justification, photography is prohibited in Islam. I have read in the news papers a few months back about a bride-groom calling off the marriage as he was annoyed with the prospective brother-in-law taking his photo. So better preach to those who are unaware of the Islamic practices.
