So my wife walks in today and says

I am sitting in my office today. I have a bookshelf that easily has 25 cameras (new and old) on it. I probably have another 20 or so around the house. I've been taking pictures for the 15 years we've been together and for many more before this.

So I am waiting for my wife to get ready so we can go visit a relative's newborn.

She walks in an says, "Do you have a camera so we can take get a few shots of the baby?"

I turned and looked at her and say. "No, but I think we can stop by the Camera Store on the way and get one."

We both laughed, I grabbed one and we left.


-sorry if you don't find this funny but I am still getting a laugh out of it.

Wives are good for questions of the obvious.. e.g. "Do these pants make my butt look big?"

the proper response being, of course not dear. Even in parachute pants your butt would look lovely

so wait, u have like 40 bodies? why? just curious and jealous at the same time. lol

that's a loaded question, cuz when u say NO, then she says "so u r saying my butt looks big in my other pants?"

Did you make up her sign?

This is like hanging out in the locker room. LOL!

Priceless!

No, not the correct answer..?

Jealous, don't be...most are 35mm cameras (Nikon/Minolta) from many years ago. Then there are older rangefinders, Brownies (decoration) and a few medium formats. I very rarely use any of them unless I REALLY want to develop B&W film (which I can't tell you the last time I've wanted to).

I shoot with 3 cameras 99% of the time 40D/G9/S70. The rest are just fun/decoration and I don't need to sell them.

I see you've met my wife.

If you don't want laid that night:

"No, it's your butt that makes your butt look big. Levi Strauss was a tradesman, not a magician."


If you DO want laid that night:

"No, your ass looks finer than the best Chablis in anything but I prefer to see it in nothing. Speaking of Chablis, what do you say we get a bottle for this evening? You and me, fireside. "

My gf asks me questions like that too. When i come back with the no,..... She gets pissed off and says why do you have to be an ass?

My husband knows to say, "You look great!" I give him a dirty stare and he says, "What? You wanted the truth?"

People know if I'm attending I have my 5D and 24-70 on me. They don't bother bringing their P&S anymore. I feel like I'm a hired gun, but it's okay. I just wish people were less insecure. Just because I have $3K worth of gear in my bag doesn't mean their $150 camera isn't worth taking. Sometimes their pictures are better. Okay, I lie, mine are always better.

Precisely why I don't bring my camera anymore unless I really am the hired gun. I don't want to be "but we're family"d into obligation. It always sucks.
