It's far easier asking for forgiveness than permission though.

I was all happy with doing color slides in 35mm and medium format, when my then-girlfriend / now-wife told me that since I was doing mostly landscapes, I should try large-format photography (with which she experimented in her college days), and while I'm at it, I should try B&W, too.
Well, a couple of large-format cameras and a fully-stocked darkroom later, she's got nothing to say 😉

Once in a while my wife asks "What was in that box yesterday?"
My stock reply is "Oh, just another lenscap (or filter, etc.)."
Ignorance is bliss. 😉

Well- my first M8 she gave me before I gave her a gold watch,I love her for it> - I got the better of the deal, the watch was discounted 😀. This second one- I cringe We travel through South Africa this fall. I usually buy some stones and design the jewelry. This time they will be very polite to me in the tax-free, I fear....

My wife has told me that I have bought my last camera; she thinks 55 are enough., especially as my recent photography hasn't been too hot. Somewhere along the way I went from being someone who has picked up a number of cameras over the years to a "collector". I guess I will have to wait a month or so for my next one. She particularly hates clutter something we have plenty of after 35 years of marriage. I also collect kitchen knives, cookware and God knows what else. She has aked me to catalogue things so in case of my demise they can be sold for he proper price. What to do, what to do?

OK, I'm a newby and I think I get the drift of what 'G.A.S" means, but I gotta know, what, exactly, does the acronym G.A.S. stand for?

If I am excited about it, she is excited about it. She knows it is one more way to keep the income good. If I were not making a living off of it, the amount of gear I have would just be plain wrong, LOL!

I bought my wife a box of Godiva chocolates and a diamond ring for Christmas. Right now I can do no wrong.😀 But today when I got home from work she said...Oh Honey I fixed your signature on that camera forum place you go to...Somebody asked you a question?... What is G.A.S.? I kid you not. She reads my post.😱 But overall my wife is very supportive. All I can say is I hope some of your wives don't read yours.😀

Both our Father's were avid photographers, so my Wife understands. She too, knows her way with a rangefinder - her favorite is her Father's Retina II.

Now THAT is a thought. I bet if we (non-pros) sold a few prints (to each other), we could tax deduct our GAS...

I can't really say I have it anymore. Once I get my hands on a Leica it's a definite possibility that I'll get it back...but for now I have almost everything I want.

My wife wants me to have a Leica M8 but alas I am poor at the moment. I'm lucky for now.

I don't have either (spouse or significant other). But the most "significant" people in my life, my dogs and cat, don't care squat how many cameras I buy so long as there's enough time and money left to feed and play with them. They do get tired of posing for my test shots whenever I get a "new" cam, however.😀
