Dunno about you guys, but I certainly would request for 2 stops more when asked for a raise.

9. When your spouse asks you if you want to go for a walk you reply “not yet, Honey, the light isn’t good right now”.

I have actually done/said this.

But seriously Guys, Peter and I are trying to write a blog about the Art of Photography, and NOT The Art of Buying Camera Stuff. There is a difference

I hope you enjoy the current articles and keep visiting regularly. We have tons more in the pipeline that will be coming out over the coming weeks and months. This is a committed long-term effort on my behalf, and now with Peter's help too.

just an observation

these are not reasons that you are obsessed, but symptoms or indications that you are.

There is?

The Art of Buying Camera Stuff involves deception and subterfuge (at least for the married guys).

Nice one Javier.
Before deception and subterfuge sets in, there's bribery and uncharacteristically romantic behaviour...

The Art of Buying Camera Stuff involves deception and subterfuge (at least for the married guys).

Ain't that the truth!

Her, "Is that a new camera?"
Me, "What? This old thing? Nah, I've had it for years."
(Step away from the others and wait for the lightning bolt to strike.)
Her, "But you got a package in the mail last week. What was in that?"
Me, "Oh, that? Just one I had sent out for repairs came back."
Her, "Hmmmm...."
Me, (Whew! That was close!")

Ok, you know you have problems when you see a ''use once and throw away'' camera at the .99cents store and you buy it to see what you can do with it; All the while you have some great film and digital cameras with you...In fact the camera I used to take these pictures was my G10....Pictures from the disposable coming soon.

Hee. I'll look.

Not that all the help with buying camera stuff hasn't been invaluable, and meant meeting all you fine folks.

7. When you ask a stranger to take a photo of you and your spouse on holiday it takes you 10 minutes to explain the process of taking a shot with your camera.

Has happened to me before. Minus the spouse thing.

I like the post about Disposable cameras.

My three signals of a serious disease were:

1. My neighbours wear scarfs and crash helmets now when they're sunbathing in their backyard.

2. I always wait for my dinner to be mouldy, 'cause that makes more interesting pictures.

3. Caused a traffic jam when I stopped on the highway. There was such a great sunset and I wanted to have it.

I'll add another one, specifically geared towards the women around here:

#16--Your other purse is a camera bag!
