Like Happy slap ( the act of randomly slapping someone you don't know when they don't expect it) But in photo form. Where you go up to someone you dont know and take a picture of them really really close up.

The act of overusing your camera from either taking a picture of the same thing multiple times, or taking a picture of everything you can find, or find you need to take a picture of. People who get a new camera often become snap happy.

Basically just using your camera a lot.
