Photograph

Photograph is the same sign as picture. wherein you take your dominant hand, shaped in the form of the letter 'C' in ASL, and hold it to the side of your eye. Then hold up your non-dominant, open, flat palm vertically, and bring down your 'C' hand to touch the palm. It is as if you are indicating that what you see is being "captured" on paper, in a photograph.
