"Photograph" was released in Japan as the lead-off promo single for ''The Green Album'', which differs from the US's "[[Hash Pipe]]." The song enjoyed only modest success on the radio, peaking at #17 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart. | |||
There are two alternate mixes floating around on the internet. The first to crop up was an extended, unmastered version that leaked before the album's release along with thirteen other ''Green'' sessions tracks. This version, clocking in at nearly three minutes, features a verse that was cut out of the final edit. Also, there is an alternate mix of the song from the initial Japanese promo CDs, featuring an edited intro, and no applause at the end. | There are two alternate mixes floating around on the internet.

The music video for the song is notable for being directed by [[Weezer.com]] webmaster and longtime friend of the band [[Karl Koch]]. It consists of footage shot while the band was touring for ''The Green Album''. Among the notable footage is Cuomo playing soccer, guitarist [[Brian Bell]] attempting to skateboard and juggle (not at the same time), Wilson riding a Razor Scooter, a brief clip of the duo from [[Tenacious D]] running onstage during a Weezer show and a scene with Cuomo playing a prank on new bassist [[Scott Shriner]]. Interestingly enough, although [[Mikey Welsh]] plays bass and sings backup vocals on the studio recording, Shriner is in the video, as Welsh had left the band at that point. During the very end of the video, when Cuomo is playing the prank on Shriner, a demo of "[[Death and Destruction]]" can be heard in the background. This song would later surface on the band's next album, 2002's ''[[Maladroit]]''. The video is featured on [[Video Capture Device]], the band's DVD. | |||
