[edit] Ancient Greek

Hi - I changed some of the etymological info in the introduction box - I think that the verb, grapho (transliteration...) better defines the etymology of "photography" than the noun (graphe). Although really, from a higher perspective, it's inconsequential, as both the noun and verb (I draw, a drawing) clearly have the same root, I think the change makes it easier to understand. I also removed graphis, because it's just the genetive form of graphe (ie - it means "of the drawing"). This sort of thing, with both, is found in etymological dictionaries, as it helps to better define the noun (and its declension), but graphe is standard enough for (IMO) the genetive to not need to be provided.
