Yes, we do not "shoot." We "make."
We also do not make images. We make photographs. Images exist on either a ground glass or on a computer/other screen of some type. A photograph is an object—usually two-dimensionally flat, but not necessarily so. Anyone who makes digital capture and never makes prints cannot be called a photographer because they do not make photographs. They might be called image makers, however.
Photographers who call their photographs "images" are being factually incorrect. To me using "images" instead of photographs is an (often unconscious) attempt at being high falutin.

I half-agree. I agree that we make pictures, or images, but I do think that we 
shoot them. The thing is that “shoot” is only one step in the process. “Fire” 
isn’t much good without “Ready..Aim…”, and shoot isn’t much good without 
“Meter…Set…Compose…”  Then, after the reaady-meter-set-compose-shoot sequence 
comes the 
develop-stop-fix-wash-dry-enlarge-crop-expose-develop-stop-fix-wash-dry 
sequence. So, for me, “shoot” is a perfect description of 1/125th of a second 
of the whole process (with medium speed film and good light).
