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".

It looks to me like you are a pseudo-photographer, a fauxtographer.

Colin: I know, its horrible. It looks like the best western "safari experience" theme hotel.
