New Photography Terms

[Steelsun]

OK Y'all, let's make a list of new fangled photogrpahy terms and their definitions.

Here's a few to get started:

TFP-flake: "Time For Prints" Flake - a model that you book on a TFP basis that never shows up, or calls to cancel the shoot. Or who does show up and is a makeup needing hag nowhere like her profile and expects you to "photoshop me pretty."

PMP: "Photoshop Me Pretty" - What a client tells you when you see wrinkles in clothes, bags under the eyes, huge zits, sagging breasts, etc.

Chimpaholic: someone that looks at their LCD after EVERY shot they take.

F-Stalker : Someone who asks you "what setting was that on" for every shot/image you show them. Alternate is "F'in-Idiot" if all they use is a P&S with no manual settings usable.

Pupperazzi: Someone that hangs out at dog parks, animal shows, etc to take pics of animals and they have no dogs/animals of their own.

Prohography: Someone that specializes in taking pictures of pigs. (usually has a Sty-dio)

Mega Pigsal-Person who loves to hog it over that they have XXX megapixels in their camera-makes you want to shake some of them out of the camera and shove em down their throat. It ain't all about the MEGAPIXEL count folks!

A 'Primer' must be a photog who shuns Zoom Lenses!

Oh, and you can knock Ken Rockwell all you want, but I think he is the person to which the term "measurebator" is attributed.

That term is greatness.

I'm not feeling creative at the moment, but I need a shorter way to describe a person as a "measurebating, pixel-peeping, gear whore".
