Beginning to think of you in a new light... does it work for men too.

You bought a 4k tv, and you dont even have a blu-ray player.

Sure it does, only most guys have less underwear and so less space left to pack in. Better make it a smaller lens, lol...

When the sole criteria for selecting your luggage is the ability to hold the tripod.

When the only thing you've planned to save in a house fire is the camera bag.

Dunno about that, but this thread is starting to feel like an intervention to me. My wife might be right, I could have 'issues' ...

"You know you're a photographer when"...you care more about staging your child's Christmas so you can get good pics, than enjoying the event. lol

...when you reverse-engineer the lighting while watching a movie.

you watch the news and are totally distracted by all the fringing in the video footage

When you spend more time on photography forums than on Facebook

When you shoot macro around the house, then see what came out, confuse the cricket larvae with young termite, freak out and call an exterminator immediately. Then exterminator has so much fun looking at your "termite" picture

...you complain about your picture being taken with a smartphone.

You know you're a photographer when you panic when you are handed a camera with only auto modes.
You know you're a photographer when you get scared when people ask to hold your camera.
You know you're a photographer when you are annoyed of people owning DSLRs who know nothing about photography.
You know you're a photographer when you shoot with Pentax!

When you see an empty oatmeal container as an excuse to make a pinhole camera... and you don't even have a darkroom!
