I think it may be because he's completely self-taught. Most people who are untrained in photography seem to only hold their cameras horizontally without thinking.

To me the way Pecker holds the camera was actually what irritated me most of all: like a 11-year old nerd. I mean if he is self taught by his age of approx. 18 he would have come to at least try to actually hold the camera still.
What I saw is a jerk who just tries to get attention (I'm still talking about the way he holds the camera, what makes up like 30% of the film). But maybe it was just kinda over-acting by mr. Furlong.
