Well we had a retired philosopher give a talk to our photo club and he convinced every one that a picture of a chair is reality while the painting American Gothic , a painting by Grant Wood from 1930 of a farmer standing beside his spinster daughter  was not reality. So photographs of real objects are now reality until we get a philosopher lecturer with a different point of view.

even a photo, say, of a chair.  Clearly the photo "of a chair" is not 
a chair, but it's one representation of a chair
