Imagine a world with no photographs. Describe what this world would be like.

A world without photographs would be terribly dull.  Everything would be much more literal, and all based in text.  More people would keep journals to keep track of their lives and memories.
People may take a different approach to life, and not rush as much, because they would want to live "in the moment" more since there would be no way to look back upon it.
The advertising industry would be completely different without visuals as they too would have to try and communicate only through sound or text.  In response to this people may become more involved with what they were purchasing.  I also believe a world without photographs may also lead to a lot of skepticism since photographs are a great way document and verify that not only something happened but that it exists none the less.
