nikonian

A person who photographs with a Nikon camera, and is convinced it's tha bomb. In reality, Nikon has been really slipping in optical performance since the mid 1970s. Today, even Canon and Olympus Zuiko are pulling well ahead in technical specifications.

Plus, the results are usually pretty bland.
only a nikonian would be convinced that a $150 lens is "top of the line"

fondler

Used in regard to camera collectors who do not use, nor know how to use their equiptment.

May be seen with a camera in public, but isn't likely going to ever develop the film. If they do develop the film, they admire on the sharpness and color qualities, and quickly disregard the photographs to continue fondling their camera.

Usually a leicaphile but may also be a contaxian. Canonites and and Nikonites usually fall under the catagory of a wanker.
all he does is stroke over his new leica m7, i mean, have you actually seen any of his photos? What a fondler.

sigma

a mysterious place that few dexheads have actually been to, but all seek after. It's the quasi-quivalent to a k-hole with ketamine, but apperantly much harder to achieve.

Much debate resolves around sigma and the existance of a fourth plateau, or if sigma is 4p only in a different setting or if it's a different plateau all together .. or even if it's a plateau at all.
Yeah, I hear sigma is pretty strange, but as far as I can tell, the third just keeps going forever.

Gothic

i think people on this definition are mistaking gothic with alternative, a movement which took place in the 1990's.

gothic really isn't about individuality, that is more of a side effect.

PS: Justin Timberlake? Come on, you folks spend WAY too much time thinking about boy bands.
Rejection of conventional rules which originated from victorian social dogma, not the acceptance of diversity.

kindergoth

Though generaly female, not always the case.

Kindergoths are anyone, usually younger than 16, who listen to music which isn't gothic, when asked don't really know much about gothic subculture, and are pretty much unaware of the post modern gothic movement or the romantic gothic movement as a whole. Yet a kindergoth will *always* claim to be "gothic" or "goth".

This is really the biggest difference betwene what gothic elitists may see as a kindergoth, and what the rest of us non-übergoths see as a kindergoth. A kindergoth to most people is simply someone who calls themselves gothic, but doesn't know anything about the subculture, in particular nothing about the music.
Jen? She listens to slipknot. I dunno man, seems to me it should take more than dressing the part.

photo.net

where mediocre photographers with a lot of technical knowlege go to act like hotshots.

in reality, they're just a bunch of old fookers with too much time, money, and gear.
www.photo.net, go there if you think you're hot shit, don't if you need to learn something.
