About Me
- Name: Peter Rozovsky
- Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
This blog is a proud winner of the 2009 Spinetingler Award for special services to the industry and its blogkeeper a proud former guest on Wisconsin Public Radio's Here on Earth. In civilian life I'm a copy editor in Philadelphia. When not reading crime fiction, I like to read history. When doing neither, I like to travel. When doing none of the above, I like listening to music or playing it, the latter rarely and badly. Click here to find an independent bookstore near you.

Nice!
Language intrigues me. When did "shoot" become associated with photography? Isn't it an odd word when connected with the capturing of images? Hmmm.
"Shoot" has so long been associated with photography that I have never paused to ask for how long and why. "Shoot" in moviemaking has long been a term for a session of filming at a given place--"We're doing a shoot at the Empire State Building on Thursday." And I;ve known photographers who called themselves shooters.
A recent crime novel had some fun with words;s dual meanings: Duane Swierczynski's Point and Shoot.
