I have a rifle. On rare occasions, I shoot. I do not hunt. Jim Brick and I first encountered each other on the LUG when he told me What A Loser I Was To Own Such A Piece of !@#$%^& (Jim, I love you anyway, despite your lamentable lack of knowledge of basic ordnance!). I have a LOT of cameras, almost all of which are operable and almost all of which I will use from time to time. I shoot pictures with them, or I take pictures, or I make pictures. The terminology is unimportant: I expose film with them. I do not wish to get exercized over the language used to express a simple mechanical part of an artistic process. I CAN get exercized over those who express anti-firearm sentiments, as the only possible reason for someone to object to my owning a firearm is a desire to tell me what to do, something I find offensive in the extreme, but that is not a proper subject for the LUG (though I will be delighted to discuss it in grand detail off-line). Might I suggest we allow this topic to die its natural death and get back to the basics of how we use the cameras we love?
