I guess everyone looks at it differently, I for one don't like it and the inference that usually goes along with it. "Oh just come over and snap a few shots for me, How much??????? " Maybe I take it too seriously ( been accused of that a time or two). I prefer to think of them as "Images or Moments". Surely someone will do a number on this, just my 2 cents!
