NINJA loans: The lending industry's latest offering: No Income, No Job or Assets required.
Hummer house: A huge and architecturally inappropriate house built in an existing neighborhood destroying the aesthetic integrity of said neighborhood
Shoot ahead of the duck: Think ahead. Plan. You have to aim where you think the duck will be, not where it is when you pull the trigger.
DWT: Driving While Texting. It's become a such a concern that the Arizona State Legislature is considering a bill to make it illegal.
Vertical trailers: Mass-produced townhouses.
Yuppie food stamps: The $20 bills that everyone gets from ATMs. They become an issue when a group goes out to eat and it comes time to pay. Each person owes $11 and no one has anything smaller than a $20 bill.
Blogola: Old-fashioned payola. Used to influence bloggers to write about a given product, TV show, movie, etc. Sometimes case, but more often the "pay" comes in the form of freebies or access. In particular, TV shows flatter high-profile bloggers by inviting them to visit their sets.
and finially . . . .
Digital capture device: Any digital camera, video recorder, scanner, etc, that "captures digital images." So be leery when a photographer's invoice includes a surcharge for use of a "digital capture device."
. . . . wha!?
I've been shooting more and more for myself lately, thinking that, that is the way to be creativly happy. No more doing what the client wants, and cringing at their, sometimes, bad ideas or designs. Not all clients are like this, just enough to get great satisfaction out of creating images for yourself, from time to time. I don't profess that this image is fantastic, but it's simple, clean and made me happy!
