Great articulation, I totally agree with your view. BTW, this is what ChatGPT says about take or make pictures: “"Take pictures" and "make pictures" are phrases that are often used interchangeably, but they can have different connotations:

1. **Take Pictures**:
- This generally refers to the act of capturing a scene or subject using a camera.
- It implies a more passive act, where the photographer is recording what's already there.
- Most commonly used for general photography, where the environment or subject isn't manipulated or altered significantly by the photographer.

2. **Make Pictures**:
- This suggests a more active involvement from the photographer.
- It can imply setting up the scene, manipulating lighting, arranging subjects, or post-processing the image.
- Often used in professional settings or fine art photography where there's a high degree of intentional design and creation involved.

However, in everyday conversation, "take pictures" is more commonly used for both scenarios, while "make pictures" is less frequently used and might sound a bit formal or artistic.”
