Wanted to bump this. The talk is by Shaykh Nuh Ha Mim Keller. He gives an interesting perspective on photos and their evils. He says in America 1 of every 4 girls are molested by her parents or immediate family and 1 of every 6 of boys and says this is because of pictures. He says 20 Saheeh Hadith prohibit tasweer and asks "how many times does a person need to be told?"

He also says at one point about photographic images (not drawn) "anyone with a single active brain cell will tell you it's a picture" - i.e. photographs are pictures too [hence falls under prohibition in Hadith]. He also discusses some exceptions for when pictures are permitted.

Shaykh Nuh refers to a number of studies/books in his lecture and he continuously reiterates "the wisdom is plain" i.e. the wisdom of prohibition in the Hadith is very clear for us to understand nowadays.
