protologism 

protologism n Greek protos, first, original + Greek logos, word; cf. prototype, neologism - a newly created word which has not yet gained any wide acceptance. It is a prototype or a hypothetical projection of a new lexical unit before it may become current in writing or speech. The word "protologism" proposed here and now is itself an example of protologism.
In contrast to protologisms, neologisms are words that have already been in public usage by authors other than their inventors. As soon as a protologism finds its way into newspapers and websites, journals and books, it becomes a neologism.

Photoblographers usually take pictures of bridges, cupcakes and street signs- typically use an expensive dslr or old fashioned camera.
That’s a really good photo of that chair, but I studied a little photoblography in college while posting on flickr, tumblr and facebook- it would look better in black & white. :(
