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

As dear ol' Chuckie Finster would say, "We're doomed! DOOMED!"

And, if you are not a nice person, you will spend eternity in a place filled with priceless photo ops, and not a camera in sight.

Or worse, you will have available to you every Canon digital EOS ever made, with every "L" and "DO" lens ever made, and nary a memory card to be found.

No I figured my photo hell would be more like everywhere I turned someone is snapping my photo. That is why I am behind the camera I haven't had my pic taking in years. My family members are ready to throw eggs and tomatoes at me for never letting up on the shutter finger so I figure that will be my hell, a thousand camera all pointed at me.

You better believe it - but just keep telling yourself its worth it

Its almost working for me but it doesnt stop me looking at more gear.

I quit taking my camera to any sporting events now, especially baseball games. Every time I did, I would come back with a thousand shots, but no idea how the game went except for the boxscore on the board at the end.

LOL anytime I suggest we go somewhere fun my husband accuses me of just wanting to take photos. I have no idea what that man is talking about.

Don't worry about it... but do go out and buy a bigger camera bag than you have now.
It's obvious you're going to need it soon!

cheers

It depends on where she shoots you. You can still shoot one handed, with a small lens...

My wife knows better than to tell me to leave the camera at home. In fact it's gotten to the point where she doesn't need to remind me to bring my camera.

Just bought a 100-400 yet to tell the wife, could be a divorce on the cards unless I can get her to believe I paid a couple of hundred quid for it. Got to do some serious selling on ebay or overtime
