Still like what a friend calls it: Pixelography
I imagine that when the printing press was invented the makers of illuminated manuscripts shook their heads in disgust.

The printing press has not entirely superceded the manuscript just as computer print-outs of electronic files have not entirely superceded the making of pictures out of light-sensitive substances. For example the Jewish Torah and the Moslem Koran are ultimately authentic only if error free and totally hand-written by a scribe.
Photography:first utterance. Sir John Herschel, 14 March 1839 at the Royal Society. "...Photography or the application of the Chemical rays of light to the purpose of pictorial representation,..".
As far as I know, I coined the term Fauxtography, so you must be referring to me. I use it as a contemptuous term for people who abuse adolescent technologies in an adolescent self-conscious way, showcasing all the zits, simply because they're too lazy to learn to paint. I have no complaints about people who use these technologies thoughtfully and tastefully.
I use 'Fauxtography' for my own digital work because I like to wind Drew up.
I call it super-pseudo-quasi-helio-lumo-quantum-electro-estheto-anarchic-grapho-plasty.
But that's just me.
Mocktography, adjective (or noun if you prefer).
So as not to appear to be a self-righteous, old fart curmudgeon with my head up my arse and my finger in the dike (I can put on a good act), I call it the same thing the general public and Webster calls it-photography.
