Sontagonism 

A rejection that new photography students feel of the controversial theories about photography presented by Susan Sontag - in her 1971 book On Photography. It is a blend of "antagonism" and the mentioned cultural theorist and activist's last name. She's also known for having a relationship with Annie Leiborvitz, you know, the chick that photographed John Lennon with Yoko Ono.

Sontagonism usually results when people who just want to take photographs with their digital camera are assaulted by theories of Sontag at University or art school - much like how Sontag claims that taking photos is an assault in itself, likening it to a "gun-fantasy" where photos are "shot".

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.

Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
