Not crazy enough! Now, if your diet consisted mainly of ramen....

Let's see now...
Chicken flavored ramen is made from chicken;
Beef flavored ramen is made from beef;
Pork flavored ramen is made from pork;
Shrimp flavored ramen is made from shrimp;
Oriental flavored ramen is made from...???

I love your mastery of the flavor array

You know you're photography crazy when you start thinking of any non photography items you are forced to buy in terms of gear you could have bought instead.

Example: I just bought a new Sterns and Foster mattress set. It cost a 5DMKII and a 580EXII. I would have been happy with a Simmons Beautyrest mattress (a 7D) or a futon (50D) but my girlfriend has Hasseblad taste on my Kodak budget!

^^ LOL I did that recently. My wife wants to buy a custom bed set thing for our kids (needed and not as much as it sounds). It'll cost a 7D and a 580exII. The mattresses will be a 85 1.8.

Tastes like air. Feels like wind.

You know you're photography crazy when you have to play around with your body and lens before going to bed everyday.

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

... you climb up a 15ft urban wall free-style with a studio flash and super clamp to rig the rim light.
... you're laying on your stomach on the beach shooting a model and to change camera positions, you just roll around in the sand.
... start doing flips and other gymnastic moves over a bar with camera gear to reduce the setup time instead of walking around back.
... you fall off a short ladder while shooting, do a simple tuck and roll landing, spring back up and continued to shoot before the model could yell out 'oh my lord'.

That was my weekend adventure down in Cancun. Finally, gymnastics is useful for a career! I knew all those years of wearing tights would pay off...

Why the past tense?

Gymnastics with cameras is dangerous - I mean you could scratch a lens or something. Personal injury - meh. Camera Injury - nooooooooo!

And what you do in tights is better left off this forum!:p

You're just jealous because kilts don't lend themselves to gymnastics. Not in mixed company, anyway.

I'd like it pretty well! And I'd be mixed company.

You know your photography crazy when you take the picture first, and clean up the coffee second.

Penny, Penny, Penny This thread is going to give you a rep.....perhaps the point?

I thought the photography dreams that I read about earlier were true signs of flipping out. Guess I reached that point finally last night. I didn't even eat anything weird. I was supposed to shoot a wedding. I got sidetracked because Godzilla showed up and the rest of the dream was dodging him an keeping hold of my gear. Never got a picture of the big lizard either. Not sure which I was more afraid of....and 20 story lizard or getting paid to do photography? whacked out dream all the same.
