Could use a little help on this one. Does "Ethereal Vernacular" mean "oops, I f'd up that photograph, can we try it again?"

Sounds more like an AH script.

Yes, I believe the layman's term would be "I screwed up".
It means the seller uses words where he doesn't know the definitions.

I've heard the new Ethereal Vernacular is one helluva roller coaster ride.

I know Ethel Vernacular quite well, but I have never met her husband.

His name is Evanescent I believe.

I can't find what it actually means. Here is the term in an article from 1991, and it doesn't have anything to do with photos.

Also I can find that it is the name of a blog as well, but that doesn't count. :p

Ethel looks like she's either pitching a baseball or tripping on a pine cone.

That's a beautiful postcard! In the vernacular photography world, a f'd up photo can be worth a lot more than a clear one. Double exposures, blurs, bad shadows, thumbs in the wrong places...
