You know you're photography crazy when...

LoL I know... and as far as you just saying, I will just say this. I have learned (while I was still single) that if you joke about yourself like that to the females, it tends to peak their curiosity. Was quite interesting indeed. And the joke just stuck.

Oh yeah, I know I am photog crazy because I was still wanting to shoot with a possible slipped disc in my back. I was thinking, the pain isnt that bad...

My friend used that approach. A lot. He's married now so it works. Heh.

What's a little pain? Now get out and shoot, soldier!

This thread is awesome.

Hey thanks, I'm glad you are enjoying it. I'm laughing so much reading all of your guys responses.

Nice. I might have to try this approach.

Taking photos with injuries makes it the much more meaningful.

...when you stop a loved one's wedding to move their photographer to the 'money-shot' location, where you think he can take better photos.

...When you are just a regular bloke with a camera sitting on a chair, but in reality you are keeping an eye for air drafts that may increase humidity in the air, all the while ensuring your xxD is at a comfortable 68 degrees, and preferably outside of any strong electromagnetic current or center. And yet you wonder "why oh why did I bring the 50L? I should have brought the 35L".

...when you jump on a deal for a 1V-HS body because you still miss film. Or at least you think you do. Umm, guilty.

...when it takes twice as long to read the morning newspaper because you're critiquing every photograph.

(Caught myself doing this today.)

when you read glossy magazines next to a scanner so you can archive any really amazing photos in your 'scrap' folder

Or magazine picture

This shot is OOF! Blow out! Why is that post there?

Or even worse, the photo's in my math, and history textbooks!

.. When you look at a sunset, partner in your arms, and think "This would make a fantastic shot!"

Do you ever get mad at P&S noobs?

Anyways I'm taking a business class right now and the project were working on is "Create Your Own Business" and you have to do a lot of stuff on your business. I decided I was going to do my business as a photography/graphics design business. Well I didnt know anyone else was doing photography until I saw on one girls computer, she was making her flier for "Diana's Images" and in the middle of the flier was a big P&S that she uses for all her professional photography work. Now keep in mind this is a fake business (mines partially real at the moment) but I laughed when I saw it but then in made me mad for some reason. It obviously shows she has no idea what she is talking about. Maybe thats is why it made me mad?

Anyways that is all.

lol, I completely understand what you are saying. Point and shoots can be great tools for a photographer though(fast flash sync). The people that really get me upset are the people with SLR "like" cameras like the S3IS. "Mine has 12x zoom and image stabilization. does yours?" Then you see them press the shutter and their onboard flash pops up.

Yeah I agree.
But I would hate how they will brag about theirs being better and a lot cheaper. Ok I don't care, I don't know what I would say if I got a comment like that. Any tips on what I should say? Ha.
