Likewise, the media keeps mentioning "fighter jets" even though jets don't fight. Since practically no developed nation uses propeller aircraft today to gain air superiority, it's a wonder why people use the term "fighter jets" or more appropriately (but still silly) "jet fighters".

You certainly do not want them in your jacuzzi.

That might depend on whether or not a lady is alone or not while in the jacuzzi ;) ;)

If I comment on that, our posts will go free, into the Internet Recycle Bin.

I don't think as photographers we shoot pictures. Shooting is "the action or practice of shooting with a gun" We are capturing images. My point has nothing to do with gun control or the use of guns. As photographers we are documenting the wonderful life around us or the heartbreaks of human tragedy. I wish that we would stop saying that we shoot pictures and describe the what we really are doing is capturing images of our beautiful planet and as a tool to affect change.

I capture a lot of images, then I release most of them.

Let them go free.

But many remain captives on my hard drives .

I may one day release them all.

I hope nobody shoots them.

You can release them by posting them on the web.

No, too much abuse there.

Photo abuse? Like if someone edited the picture badly?

I think you missed the point.

Sure. What was the point?

How would you let your photos go free?

Release them into a worldwide Recycle Bin, or Format Drive.

As I said, you missed the point.

The term shooting photos doesn't bother me in the least. It's a term that's been used so long that you aren't going to change it. BTW, shoot has many meanings besides shooting with a gun.

Images are not released and set free if they are deleted.
 
You are obviously bored and in need of a hobby.

I think it is an American thing, at least originally. The Germans "make" and the English "take" photos.

Germans make it, British take it, Americans shoot it ... hmmm ...

But I'm more familiar with shooting a subject than "shooting an image" (that's just a weird expression). More like "I'd like to shoot the model against that concrete wall" or "can I shoot your kids ?"

In any event, I'm sure we all look forward to seeing what other pseudocontroversial topics brand new dpreview member "Photo Nut" has to bring up ;)
