Is it because you have a strong dislike for firearms and are upset that photography uses much of the same terminology? I don’t understand your motivation for writing this article.

We “shoot” or “take” a photo.  We aim our camera." Really? Sounds like we need "Camara Control"! Perhaps even "Camara Free School Zones"! “In photography, the words and metaphors we use are profoundly disturbing. We “shoot” or “take” a photo.  We aim our camera.”

The same use of military words occurs in the medicine field. "Killer cells," "the body is a battle ground," etc. The application creates separation and hopelessness between those four aspect of our being: mind, heart, body and spirit. --A vision contrary to that of the Indigenous people. That is why I have adopted the words "Person who was harmed" for the "V" word; and "person who offended" for the "O." I hope to accomplish two things with this: remember that RJ is about real people; be aware that human beings are in a state of change and transcendence. Dear Howard:
