My Pet Peeve for the Day

[Chuck Jones]

Well, I certainly can tell the difference between taking and making a photo in my own photography. I spent the last four weeks on an island in the Baltic, shooting an 8x10" portfolio of old wooden fishing boats. 25 exposures in four weeks. Lots of scouting, planning, testing compositions, timing visits to the different fishing camps with good lighting conditions. A purely contemplative, deliberate approach. Definitely in the "making" category. While there, I stayed with my brother's family, lots of social snapshots. Quite a contrast, and perhaps different terminology is warranted for.

Yep. Completely agree Lars. I laugh at even the thought of someone trying to "take" anything shooting an 8x10 :ROTFL:

Someone should issue "Captain America Official Decoder Rings" to every professional photographer, along with a Crystal Ball.... or the private phone number for The Amazing Kreskin!

haha!...I love that idea
