Hey all... Somewhat new to MM, and I just really started reading all the posts. (which some are quite interesting!) Anyway, in reading several, I keep seeing a reference to a "GWC"

This keeps popping up... Please, can someone tell me what the heck is a GWC????????

I'm guessing it is some kinda cheap photographer? ...or someone who just does T&S shots??? ...I'm just curious to know.

Thanks in advance to the kind person the fills me in! smile

Guy With Camera,
Amateur or amateurish, shooting women, trying to shoot nudes, trying to get women naked,
not professional.

I think.

Thanks!

What is a GWC?

GWC is an acronym for "Guy With Camera." It's a derogatory term for amateur photographer that's taken the interweb by storm. It usually implies that said guy is only interested in photography to get hot ladies to get nekkid for him.

In the computer biz (which is what I'm 'semi-retired' from) we sometimes have an issue with someone we would call a GWF, "Goober with Firewall."

That's the sort of person who says "I have a firewall, and it says your name server keeps sending stuff to port 53!!  Stop that!"

Of course, doing as they ask makes their Interweb go away.  :evil:
