Interesting Steve - I rather prefer made as well . . . . but it sounds pretty pretentious around here.And photographs are made, not taken!

This could be tomorrow's pet peeveIt's because digital imaging is not photography.
You mean like primitive peoples sometimes think a camera can take something away with it in a literal sense, like soul? InterestingI prefer "taken" to "made".
Hi Doug, I'll try and explain it another way...This could be tomorrow's pet peeve
I use photons to make pictures. Sometimes the photons exite electrons in silver halide molecules on flexible film, sometimes they excite electrons in pixel wells on a silicon wafer. Either way I get pictures from photons.
No sale, sorry.Hi Doug, I'll try and explain it another way...
A truck or a bicycle will get a person from his home to the supermarket, but both are still different mediums. People ride bicycles and they drive trucks. The variations in terminology used are the result of the differences between the mediums.
Nobody is trying to sell you anything. They are different mediums whether you "buy it" or not.No sale, sorry.
yes that is understoodActually, it is a photochemical process and digital is a photoelectrical process. Both of which can result in physical objects by using mechanical processes.
Either way I get groceries.Just like a truck or a bicycle can get a person to the store...both are still different mediums.
