So, what were you required to say instead? I have heard people object to the term "shooting", which I think is silly, but what do you say instead of "taking"? I guess you can say, "Making a photograph," but that could be any part of it from clicking the shutter, to processing the film, to printing. What do you say as a synonym for "clicking the shutter and recording on the film what is in front of the lens"?


When I photograph someone I just say I'm stealing their soul.


Good idea! sometimes I tell people in my neighborhood in TN that I am photographing their yard in order to take it back to the city so people can laugh at them, and then I'll make a lot of money by exploiting them. That's what they suspect anyway. Might as well level with people.
