Heeelllooo CS world! Let's see how much absurdity I can get into here. 😚
My name is Susan or Sus (think Dr. Seus) & I'm a lowly servant to 2 feline monsters: Queen Maddie & Court Jester Smitty.
I used to be a pro photog but life's bumps had different plans for me. I still shoot as often as I can & post pics often.
Other stuff: I'm a fiery soul & speak my mind however I like about a million things.

@see_the_sus Cool stuff. I was never a pro, only amateur photog but I'll pose (what to me was) an interesting question: why are all the words about photography violent? "shoot" "shot" "take" "grab" ... I enjoyed a short seminar with pro photos who suggested we "receive" and "are gifted with" images because it's a love language and should reflect that. Thoughts? #photography

ummm.....to be honest, those choices are, ummm...gag inducing. IMO. I'm not going to go around telling people, "Oh I received some great flower photos today!" cause for one thing, that would denote someone gave me flowers. Same with the "are gifted with."
The words, "shoot," "shot," "take," and "grab" are only violent when used to describe a violent incident. It's no different than if I were to say, "He threw a punch at me," vs "He threw the frisbee to the dog."

@wolfwoman

I "shot" photos of flowers because I'm "pulling" the camera's shutter lever. I "grabbed" some photos of kids playing in the park because it's a quick moment in time.

We can go around the earth a gazillion times with these kinds of discussions. Sure, there are some words that indicate a violent act no matter how it's used but camera lingo isn't one of those.
