Fauxtographer

A person who tries to jump on the photography band-wagon by "Pointing-and-shooting" hundreds of terrible pictures, which they will upload to myspace in an album titled "My Photography", "My Art", or "Critique My work". Always followed up by the person adding "Photography" to their General section, or adding "Photography is my life..." to their About Me.

Joseph: Jake the composition of your pictures are terrible... It looks like you just pointed your camera at whatever flowers or animals or graffiti you saw.... Plus half of them are out of focus, and as it got darker, you didn't change your exposure settings and these pictures didn't come out at all... It looks to me like you are a pseudo-photographer, a fauxtographer.

Fauxtographer

A person that claims to be a good photographer when in reality they just set their camera to automatic mode a start shooting. This person also happens to fumble over photographic terms or has no knowledge of the terms or switches the color mode to monochrome and calls it artistic no matter what the hell is in in frame.
Funny how all of these "candid" subjects are posing and looking at the camera, this person is a real good fauxtographer!

Wow blurry black and white pictures of tree bark... what a fauxtographer.

fauxtograph

In today's world of computer manipulated images, it's sometimes hard to tell reality from fake. A photograph that has been digitally altered so that it no longer reflects reality is a fauxtograph. Faux is French for "fake" or "false". Can be shortened to fauxto (pronounced foe-toe)
"Did you see that fauxtograph that's floating around the internet of a man with a duck's head?"

fartography

the study of the interrelations between fart and place.

by analogy: as "terroir" is to wine, so is fartography to flatulence.

the most skilled fartographers are able to identify with uncommon specificity not only the ethnic background of the individual who authored a particular fart, but also the kind of food that person ate, whether or not his or her ancestors grew up near a farm or at high altitude, and whether he or she is lactose intolerant.

fartography is a fascinating discipline whose implications are only now becoming clear.

among pioneering practitioners, Johnald G. Stinkefeller is notable for his contributions to the field.
civilian: jesus! what the hell is that smell?

fartographer: indeed, indeed. that most certainly is an emission from a person of subcontinental origin.

civilian: goodness gracious! well, i daresay...

fartographer: moreover, said person seems to have a particularly hearty meal of boeuf bourguignonne. the sulfuric notes suggest a person with a severe allergy to gluten, as well as a miniaturized anal aperture which undoubtedly contributes to the floral top note. i would suggest that the person in question is...

civilian: damn you, stinkefeller!

fartographer: you. you farted. and that's how fartography works, son.

fauxtographer

Similar to a actual photographer, but not a real artist. Not to be confused with a simple camera owner.

Often presented as a guy with an expensive camera or photography equipment for the sole intent of taking pictures of scantily-clad beautiful women. Easily identified by cheesy pickup lines, but some are more subtle.
Mike says to April: "Shoot shoot shoot! When can I shoot you????" Mike is a fauxtographer.
