A world without photographs would be a world without any visual memories of events or advertisement stimulation. If you see a friend that you know you won't see in a while, you'd better hope they give you an autograph... or sit for an hour while you draw them. Actually, I could see that everything would be drawn, taking up precious time. Social networks like Facebook would consist of profile 'drawings' and instead of albums it would be called 'sketchbooks'. The truth would not come out so much in a real scene, seeing as anyone can just draw what they want in the picture. Also, man jobs would probably be close to nonexistent such as modeling. Who needs a model when you can draw someone up from your mind?
On the plus side, the world would probably be more creative. Authors would have to write more into their work to stimulate the readers' imagination. If the drawing scenario played out, pretty much everyone would have to learn to draw decently. I guess the world wouldn't be in total chaos if there were no photographs, but it would be a bit more boring and time consuming.
