A friend sent me this email, thought the folks here would enjoy and relate to a lot of this. I am personally guilty of number 4 and 8- twice! Enjoy!
Top 15 reasons you might be obsessed with photography.
1. You get a brown dog because you don't want the exposure problems caused by black and/or white fur.
2. Your doctor informs you that the reason your baby girl didn't open her eyes until she was 18 months old was because you kept strobing her for baby pics.
3. You don't giggle when a fashion photographer says he snooted his model during a shoot.
4. At your nephew's christening you ask the priest to repeat the water dipping because your first shot was a bit blurry.
5. You refer to cleaning up after dinner as postprocessing the kitchen .
6. You think that double of 4 is 5.6.
7. When you ask a stranger to take a photo of you and your spouse on holiday it takes you 10 minutes to explain the process of taking a shot with your camera.
8. You've locked yourself out of your house and car, forgetting your keys many times, but you're never without a camera.
9. When your spouse asks you if you want to go for a walk you reply "not yet, Honey, the light isn't good right now".
10. When you ask your boss for a raise you request 1/3 stop salary increase.
11. It took you 1/2 hour to decide which car to get but 2 months for what 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom to buy.
12. You can't remember the date of your anniversary but you know the specs to all the cameras and lenses in your brand.
13. You once got into a bar fight because somebody said digital was better than film.
14. You have triplets and name them Diane , Ansel and Henri .
15. You tell your son he has to go to a state school because you spent his college fund when you switched camera systems.
Very funny! I'm definitely guilty of number 8, and although I don't have a spouse to go for a walk with, I always decide when I'm leaving the house based on the quality of the light, if there are clouds to enhance my photos, and so forth.
16. Your spouse constantly asks you, "Don't you have enough pictures of ____ ?"
17. You often find yourself completely ignoring the subject in a print to focus on the bokeh of the background.
#9 darn near got my head ripped off one evening. The fine young woman I was dating at the time was over and we were in the front yard letting the dogs play together. I took a look at the sky and made the comment it looked like a great evening to catch the sunset. So we put the dogs in the house and jumped into my vehicle and headed to a nearby hill to catch the sunset. When we got there I jumped out with my camera, grabbed the tripod out of the back seat and started to set up to get a few good photos. Well let me tell you Mister-Man that is NOT the type of "catching the sunset" she had envisioned in the least. In fact her exact words were, "You drug me out here in the middle of nowhere, on top of this God forsaken hill, in the freezing wind... TO TAKE PICTURES of the sunset!! I was hoping you had developed a romantic side and wanted to share the sunset with me."
13 years later she still is still a bit miffed about that evening . Although we do have a couple of great photos of a beautiful sunset to show our 4 boys and someday sit in our rockers on the porch and look at together. She has almost given up on the romantic side (one does show up once in a while now though) but does appreciate the good photos of the kids and our life together.
