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 âfirst,â âforemost,â âearliest form of,â 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 âwriting,â 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 |

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. |

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.

They's about as useful as a back pocket on a shirt.
