It's lecture day at Conway Hall. The point about people making/creating rather than just taking photos struck a note with me. Yes, you "take" them, but you've also looked, paused, seen what you want to capture (fleetingly) and mentally commissioned it.

Also my Dutch friend used to translate "take' to "make" and it never seemed odd.
