Tog

I read that some photographers hate being called a tog. I didn't even know what this meant until a few weeks ago.
I googled it and found a forum site where some were very over the top about being called a TOG.

What's your guys views on this? Does it bother you, or is it just a nickname for a photographer?

I've no problem being called a tog, it's just an abbreviation of photographer. Unless of course it's one of Terry Wogan's 'terry's old geezers'

Mike

Im a TOG......

I wouldn't wear a cap or a polo shirt with 'terry's old geezers' on .......... But Tog on the other hand

If I classed myself as a photographer then I wouldn't be bothered by being called a 'Tog' or 'Togger' - but then I don't really class myself as a 'photographer' any more than I class myself as a 'guitarist' or a 'driver' - it's something I do rather than something I am.

I'm with phil on this.

I use it as a verb for an excursion that is primarily photography motivated as in 'off out for a Tog'

lets TOG together

Lol...well Tog is the first three letters of Together suggesting we are a sociiable bunch.

Anytime you are in Central Scotland give me a shoutand I'll pack a picnic.

I totally agree with Phil about not seeing myself as a photographer, but as something I do from time to time. Having said that I'm not fussy about what I'm called either as long as it's not to rude

I'm called all sorts of things so wouldn't mind unless it was clearly offensive. I also agree with others, I'm not a tog by trade - just like photography.
