So I thought of this word today... then though "I'd bet a million people have already thoght of it because its so obvious". So I googled... and found only 5 or 6 references out of 150 gazillion WWW sites. Sooooooo.... lets make it mainstream!

Word of the day: Protographer

:D

From

proto-

a combining form meaning “first,” “foremost,” “earliest form of,” used in the formation of compound words (protomartyr; protolithic; protoplasm), specialized in chemical terminology to denote the first of a series of compounds, or the one containing the minimum amount of an element.

Origin:
< Gk, comb. form repr. prôtos first, superl. formed from pró; see pro- 2


and


grapho-

a combining form meaning “writing,” used in the formation of compound words: graphomotor.
Also, especially before a vowel, graph-.
Compare -graph, -graphic, -graphy.

Origin:
< Gk, comb. form of graph; akin to carve


So, is a "protographer" the earliest form of writer/carver? ;)

obviously you mean pro-photographer, but it just looks like a typo or like it means "prototype-photographer." Plus it's just not catchy enough, sorry to burst your bubble :p

Yeah... I assumed that too... I was just being facetious.

How about NOtographer - as in one who can't take a picture to save his/her life.
or Fauxtographer: One who thinks they take good pictures, but doesn't.
or Photografur: The stuff you line the inside of your camera vest with in the winter.
or Photagonist: One who annoys or provokes through their images (e.g. Slippy)
or Photog Torpedoes: In the future of space travel, photographers will be stuffed with explosives and used as weapons. This will only happen when they run out of lawyers to shoot.

That's all I got.

Or foetographer - Picture takers enemy, like Art Roflmao for revealing my fauxtographer status... ;)

How about

fetalgrapher - the person that takes photos of your unborn child
botographer - person that takes photos after a cosmetic procedure
motographer - specialises taking snaps of moustaches

These all suck... I'll leave the funny stuff to Art.

Snowtographer All Non-Floridians *giggle*

Shmotographer Not a real smart photographer but doesn't know it

That's like the difference between taking pictures, and taking photographs. Those Pootographers are just hacks, while to be a Scatographer requires years of study.
