Word Play.. help needed

[JoeFriday]

I'm often amused and amazed at the verbal witticisms that are displayed in the forum.. I'm hoping for a little of that right now

I'm about to start a new photo project, but I need a little help with something pertaining to the title/description

can anyone come up with a noun that means 'photographer' or perhaps just 'visual artist' and sounds somewhat similar to 'tourist'?

 

[FrankS]

photographic purist?

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

Image Permanence Alurist? ™ but ya can use it ? 😉

 

[JoeFriday]

I'm not sure about that, Gabriel.. Monty Python might come after me with pirates

 

[JoeFriday]

photographic purist?

it's a bit longer than I'd like.. but it's on the right track, Frank

 

[back alley]

[FrankS]

[rbiemer]

Heliographic Alarmist?
Oh My God, He's Got The Slide Projector-ist?
Shutterista?

I'll keep thinking about it for you, Brett...not sure if that's a promise or a threat 😀

A photographer of butts could be a...wait for it...posteriourist. Huh? hmm? oh...

 

[ChrisN]

*ist. Hang on, Pentax has already done that.

 

[JoeFriday]

yeah, *ist was the first thing that popped into my head.. it's so catchy

relax, enjoy & take care,
