Do you own a camera?

Yes, but as you may or may not know the second commandment has to do with representations of God. The hebrew word "pecel" is translated as "idol" or "graven image" and the commandment is referring specifically to a image used in worship.

This is evident because the first four commandments all have to do with how we should worship God.

image used in worship.

Something like, say, a bronze serpent or maybe golden cherubim, perhaps... And it's not like God Himself became flesh and made His dwelling amongst us, providing a true Image of Himself. You're entitled to your opinion on the meaning of the Second Commandment. When you pretend that your interpretation is the only right one, in contradiction to the entire history of Christendom, though, you give me lessons in the true meaning of arrogance.
