Well said...........surely there can't be any more parsing of the OP. I vote the thread ends on that one.
Use make, take, create, shoot, capture, or whatever. The only time the issue comes up is in threads like this...we will still understand what the other is saying. Technically, the sun does not rise nor does it set, but we all know what a sunset is. The personal choice of words does reflect a little on how a person approaches photography, which is the most interesting part of these discussions.
If I ever said "I'm going to check out the light." my family would think I was really weird, probably having some sort of religious experience, and lock me up. How about I:m going out to "record" some pictures? I don;t think that word has been mentioned. We do record whether its with film or a sensor/memory card. The one photographer I know who builds his pictures is Creydson.
Those who take and those who make
Photography now seems to be more make than take. I am not just referring to digital, as there are many makers who use film. I realise it is not just a binary choice, but are you primarily a maker or taker? I think of myself as a taker.
Dunno. I mainly work with other people's photos and films now. Health is poor and can't pound the pavement doing street photography any longer. I'm still shooting, but it is with a copy stand or even a flatbed scanner. Other times it is with a screen recorder. I've probably shot 60K- 80K screenshots in the last decade. I also work with audio, VHS and Beta. I especially love cine' film, but scanning is the issue. Still saving up and buying lotto tickets! Cine' scanners are not cheap. Duplicate set of shelves behind this with films. View attachment 387708 Eventually this will be M-R films. Have many thousand 16mm films. Fantastic time capsules of history!
My guess is that sometime in the not too distant future my grandchildren with Ai technology will dictate into their phones what they see and how they would like it printed and maybe framed. It would be Wi-Fi’d to their home system or maybe to a service that would make a finished product and then delivered to them via a drone delivery service. However they probably will still have to hammer a nail into the wall to hang it.
