It's almost as if there's been a tradition of photographers, dating back to Henry Fox Talbot, who have explicitly articulated the relationship between light and light-sensitive media in terms of writing.
It's almost as if, as
>>3260560 pointed out, "photography" literally means "light drawing".
It's almost as if, OP, like the guy in the comment, like most plebeian casuals, are inbred, ignorant illiterates who rely on listicles, blogs and vlogs to spoonfeed them stupid platitudes and entry-level knowledge instead of educating themselves.
It's almost as if said philistines are obstinately proud of their fucking ignorance and cultural retardation.
