'Smudging' - UK slang for social photography in restaurants etc where a
photographer goes around making quick group portraits of smiley faces.
Practitioner known as 'smudger'.

'Flash for cash' - see above

'Doorstepping' - news photogs worst job, waiting for
celebrity/politician/criminal etc to emerge from premises.

'Boshing' - what the news photog does when celebrity/politician/criminal
emerges.

Any more silly jargon out there??
