Get the a strange phenomenon in which the photographer is also the subject of the photograph mug.A photographer is a person who takes photographs using a camera. A professional photographer uses photography to make a living, while amateur photographers take photographs for pleasure and to record an event, place or person.
Not all photographers are scene or emo kids and not all rely heavily on photoshop or any other photo editing software (such as GIMP, Lightroom, photobucket, etc) to make their photos look unique.
Some photographers actually are photographers, not just "What just about every scene kid and hipster under the age of 25 calls themselves these days.". Some actually shoot photographs for a purpose rather than because it is the "cool" thing to do at the moment. Some great photographers are Ansel Adams, Diane Arbus, Les Forrester, Lara Jade, Andrew Gransden, Joe Rosenthal, Jill Greenberg, and Annie Leibovitz.
A photographer may stick to one subject area, such as portraiture or nature strictly, but quite a few usually spread their subject areas among many different kinds of photography, such as nature, portraiture, still life, photojournalism, urban & rural, and architecture, just to name a few.

Get the Photographer mug.Photography is actually one of the fastest growing service industries. it is used to capture moments that are actually meaningful. Every photographer isn't just a emo kid that sucks, and they don't just take pictures of converses, that is very overrated. Real photographers know how to take an ordinary object and put meaning into it, meaning that represents a cause. They give photos a voice.
I am a photographer, i major in photography, and am one of the least emo kids you'll ever know, i'm a sophmore and being recruited by colleges, so obviously, i don't suck, and i have never taken a picture of converse in my life.

Get the Photography mug.A party photographer. This artist documents people, usually young privileged white kids, and their wild lifestyles. Classic photographers who fit this category are Larry Clark, director of KIDS. A contemporary artist would be the Cobrasnake.
The preferred format for this type of photography is digital, while polaroid appeals to a more specific/pretentious genre of wild lifers. Also, the portfolio's of wild-life photographers are usually their facebook pages.

Get the protographer mug.The process of taking photos.
Apparently, if you want to get anywhere in the photo industry, you must only take "vintage" pictures of a skinny girl in converse, flowers, converse, two emo boys kissing, more converse, a self portrait with terrible angles or a decrepit unused building.
Did i forget something? Ahh yes...more converse! Add some stars/hearts and song lyrics by dashboard confessional to really give it some oomph.
Now just put them on your myspace or deviantart and watch the compliments roll in! Now all you have to do is wait for some business moguls to spot your obvious talent and hire you straightaway. Because you so are a 'photographer'.

xXbLaCK_heaRtXx just added some photos onto their deviantart. It's all a bunch of sunsets, dying trees and brand spanking new converse sitting on disused train tracks.
"Ooh, look! Here's one of him lying on the tracks! And he's even put a heart and sparkles in the corner!"
"Soooo deep and artistic!" *nods*
Feel free to copy the following paragraph and put it on as many emo/scene/myspace pages you can find who commit said atrocity:
In real life, turning up the exposure on a portrait so much you barely see the person's features anymore is not advised in photography. Really, you're not supposed to do it. You're not a photographer! Get over it!
