Page stolen and old picture taken (5)

I believe the answer is:

photo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'picture taken' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'page stolen and old' is the wordplay.
'page' becomes 'p'.
'stolen' becomes 'hot' (stolen goods are 'hot').
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'old' becomes 'o' (abbreviation as in OT - Old Testament).
'p'+'hot'+'o'='PHOTO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for photo that I've seen before include "Snap - shot" , "Camera picture" , "In brief, a snapshot" , "Picture, in short" , "Snap, exposure, in short" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
