I HATE PHOTOGRAPHY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol! I'm there with you, cept I don't hate it (yet)

The only solution is to distract yourself with more new gear!

I am suffering from the same problem. That is why most of us check this site everyday.

Every day????? I think POTN is as bad an addiction as photography.

I'm in here every 5 minutes hitting refresh to see what NickSan and other wise folks have to say.

You are not alone.
I got the virus a couple of months ago and still as sick as ever. Move from XTi to 40D in 2 months; added 3 additional lenses and thinking of adding telephoto. All day and night I think about photography. Take every available opportunity to play with my camera. Drag it with me everywhere I go. Look up, down, side way and behind me wherever I am at to search for lighting & angle. Taking picture of my Son everyday. My wife laughs at me and gets jealous with Forty D sometime. I visit POTN everyday. I can’t help it either. So who know the 800 number?

I admit it, I am also an addict.

Writers have writer's block.
Photographers have photographer's block.

In the worst times, my hands wanted to smash the camera when I saw that I missed a shot.

I think the problem is that U are still using a 40D.. Perhaps if U upgraded to a Full frame, your problem might disappear...

This one (and others) made me bust out with laughter.
I know this all to well. I know for a certain fact, now, that if I could get a 5DMKII that it would ease my suffering and I wouldn't want to shoot near as much. I even sometimes wonder if buying a D700 would help ease the pain of holding my Canon so much.
But for real I am always scheming on how to move funds around and sell more blood, I mean stuff, so I can upgrade.

It's the legal heroin of the artistic masses.

It's the religion without the delusion.

It's the love without the pain.

It's the passion without the hate.

It's the desire for something more... Without knowing what.

Face it.. It's a placebo cure to our non-existent cornea disease.

Thanks to my brother Im now hooked... I've started selling other toys I have so as to have enough cash to buy more photography gear... great. This hobby costs more than the rest of mine... lovely.. just one more thing to spend money on.

funny topic

I hear your pain BigAlz

Because of photography the wife has stopped talking with me, she only questions me now, "Steve, have you seen the white table cloth" and "any idea where I left the silver cooking foil"

I am not there....1.5 years with the photography and I love it. I enjoy the world around me and camera makes me want to pay bigger attention to details. So I love it

You mean your backdrop and reflector?

Rinse and repeat for so many POTN'rs.........
