How many photos?

According to one estimate, since the invention of the camera, we've taken about 3.5 trillion photos. And about 180 billion of them are on Facebook.

The 1000 memories blog has a nice post that provides a kind of best guess approach to quantifying the world's existing photos. Their estimate: 3.5 trillion.

Photos taken by year

Interestingly, they note that Facebook is the world's largest photo library, holding 180 billion photos.

Infographics in Context

A project by Danish designer Peter Orntoft, which attempts to take data visualization off the page.

Interest no. 6: "The focus of the interest deals with gang related crime and whether the Danes have changed behavior because of it."

Interest no.4: "The focus of the interest deals with whether or not the Danes think it's ethical to wear religious symbols in public professions."

Orntoff's Infographics project attempts to put data into context by using representative images.  I'd perhaps tweak the actual representation used to better match each data set (e.g. proportions are unclear in the second example) but the general concept is brilliant. See more images and more context at his site.
