Fauxtog

N. Fo-tawg. Fauxtography: The (fallacious) notion which many attractive co-eds harbor, an undeserved feeling that "I am talented." Unfortunately this feeling is based on the logic that all pretty girls are talented. (Jessica Simpson syndrome)

While this trend is as common as the digital cameras which make it possible, it existed long before point+shoot+post-to-facebook was the new art exhibit. Since the dawn of western civilization young hotties have paraded about with digicams, acoustic guitars, note pads etc. simply to feed their image and unjustly gain a sense of self-worth.
"Guys, check out my homepage, my mom just got me a digital camera, I'm into art now."

"Rate my new album: a collection of shots of trees, portraits, and my cat."

"I just learned to play Weezer's Undone on guitar, let's sing together."

"SLR? What's that?"

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.
Bulletin posted at 5;34 by Jake: "Guys check out my photography"
Bulletin posted at 5: 41 by Jake: "C'mon guys I'm a photographer now, check it out"

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.
