Re: photography haram?
Twisting the words? I am talking about those pictures/images of all living things which is created by Allah and have soul not about having power like God. You said in your argument 1 of having God’s power and defeating this argument by giving an example of cake. Pardon me but your argument 1 sounds funny for me.
Photography is forbidden, some said it haraam. We were ordered to obliterate it as mentioned in many hadith like in Sahih hadith Hazrat Ali bin Abu Talib r.a. narrated that Prophet 
said: Do not leave an image/picture without obliterating it.
And I read somewhere that on the day of judgement Allahs will ask all those photographer/image-makers to put the soul in their photos/drawins (of all living things) if they wants to enter in paradise.
