I am confused which should i use? is it photo or picture?
i think the difference here is:
the picture is any images from your sight, or anything you see is considered picture,
while photo is the one printed from a camera?
Am i right?
Do you have any idea of their difference?

i think that the difference between photo and picture, is that the photo is the image which is printed/ developed from the film of the still camera and picture is a simple word and can be used for every photo, picture

I think photo is the one printed in the camera and picture is something that you see and imagine. The word picture's meaning varies in how it is use in the sentence.
ex. Can you picture out the scenery?
The word picture means something that you have imagine.

I think I agree. You can have a picture of something in your mind, but you can't have a photo in your head! lol
I use the word photo most of the time when I am typing because it is shorter and easier to type than picture. Other than that I think most people would get the 'picture' no matter which you use.
This is a great question, one I have asked myself before. I don't see why it did not get more responses than it did, timing I guess!?
