Fauxtography
A picture taken for artistic reasons that has become insanely popular but has taken no real skill to take whatsoever.
I just took a grayscale picture of myself looking to the side. I'M A FUCKING ARTISTIC GENIUS!

Failtography:
Taking a photograph of yourself in a mirror, holding the camera in front of your face >_>;
Lens Cap attached while trying to take a picture of some A-List celeb's genitals falling out of a car, no matter how much cash you spent on that awesome camera... it can't see through a tiny piece of plastic.
Lending your camera to a friend only to have them return it with pictures of kids on the memory cards, their kids....
Naked.
