Historage 

Heritage and history joined together a bit like chillaxing! We've used this word when talking about the titanic centenary - as part of the historage of belfast northern ireland.
It's part of our historage :)

hipstography 

A form of photography commonly taken up by hipsters. Using noticeably fake filters, cheap film cameras, or in most cases instagram. They can occasionally have a quote plastered upon the image as well to add extra "emotion."

historgasm 

When one is overpowered by an intense, almost sexual lust for all things historical.

This is often manifested in the form of increased heart rate, ooh-ing, aah-ing, pointing or rapid photo taking, directed towards historical persons, architecture or artifacts.

For those afflicted, historgasms can also result from any exposure, however limited, to any form of historical discussion or reference.
"I had a total historgasm last night thinking about the mighty conquests of Julius Caesar."

"Everytime I see a castle, man, my body just...historgasm man. Those turrets."

"I historgasm everytime Prof. Smith enters the lecture theatre, he's just so passionate about his work."

Hipstagram

A word used by wannabe-wannabe hipsters looking to make their photos more vintage-y. They vaguely remember what the app is called for their mobile device since seeing it on an equally wannabe-wannabe hipster friend's device.

They search Hipstagram instead of Instagram or Hipstamatic.
I need to download that hipstagram app so I can be hipster too

Becky: At least she didn't use #thisgirl or #foodporn

Gina: Oh, no wait, she did. What a hipstagrammer.

Hipstographer 

A person of the hipster persuasion who takes up photography as a hobby to express his deep seeded hipster need to to be hip. Said hipstographer fancies him/herself an artiste, but is in fact two steps below an under-paid stock photographer.

This is debatably the most offensive of all photo-hobbyist types.

Antonyms: photographer, artist, creative person.
Synonyms: kid-in-Williamsburg-with-a-Holga-who-wears-really-tight-pants.

Alternatively: One who documents the hipster scene, takes Polariod (especially type 55) portraits of his hipster friends. Under this definition the hipstographer need not be a hipster himself.
Larry: Hey, check out my sweet new photos! I just got some 120 film back from the lab! I think I've found my calling!
Mo: Dude, you just bought that Holga last week at B&H. You're such a hipstographer.

Carl: The economy's such shit right now, I'm heading out to Williamsburg for a shoot, doing some TFP.
Roger: Since when did you become a hipstographer?
