Basement Photography can be images of gutters, alleys, rickety stairs, parking garages, rusted street lamp posts, old rusted fence, that outdated gas pump on the corner of town, etc.

adj (-er): someone who photographs the likes.
Wow, look at this photoshoot! Prime basement photography ..

Johnny's mother doesn't like him inside those abandoned buildings, so she suggested basement photography until he's out of college.

tag me in that photograph

The facebook-inspired phrase for when you like something. A lot. If it were a photo, you'd want to be all over that.
Hey gurl, I just got tickets to see Jay-Z and Kanye West.

Gurl, tag me in that photograph!

Street Photography

Take a random camera, usually an expensive dSLR or ideally a "vintage" rangefinder then take photos of any old shit in an urban environment. Random people, beggars, buildings, leaves, garbage - the subject doesn't matter, only that it has zero emotional value and you convert it to high contrast black and white before posting online.

halography

The study of Halo, either Halo 1, 2, or the upcoming Halo 3 and Halo Wars. These games for Xbox and Xbox 360 were developed by Bungie, and with some help from Microsoft. This intellectual pursuit embodies all the aspects of Halo such as: different combat strategies, stealth fighting, grenading, timing, sniping, up-close combat, teamwork, aiming, psychological training, nerves-of-steel, using vehicles and air transportation, and anything else related to improving one's Halo skills.
Me: "Hey, Kareem, what do you say we study some Halography for an hour or two - I need to improve my sniping and you can work on getting that plasma grenade down."

Kareem: "Word. Hallo to Halo."
