Humor: You know you're a photographer when...

[md2008]

From blog.mingthein.com

My favorites:

…your fridge has more film than food in it

…none of the film has expired, but all of the food has

…a red dot on something doesn’t mean it’s cheaper or on sale, to the contrary: it costs significantly more instead.

…you harbour a secret desire to be caught candid on Tokyo Camera Style, if you happen to be visiting Tokyo.

…you actually think about what camera you’d like to be caught with on Tokyo Camera Style.

…you look for exif data in adult images.

…you run your iPhone images through ACR and Photoshop

…you have more bags than your partner

…on negotiating a taxi fare, the driver offers to use the meter. You reply ‘real pros don’t need a meter son, we use our eyeballs.’

…when you overhear a colleague saying they’re taking Delta flight 100 on vacation, you suggest they might also like to try Acros or TMAX

…a random person asks you to take their photograph at a tourist site, and by the time you give the camera back to them, you’ve completely reconfigured it to your preferences and they can’t figure out how it works anymore

…a random person asks you to take their photograph at a tourist site, you take a look at their camera, and instead offer to take one with yours and email it to them

…you watch an F1 race and the lolly pop man reminds you of a giant dodge and burn wand

When you develop ailments related to photography e.g. back pain, tendonitis, hip problems or OCD with that little button on the top of every camera.

...when you overhear a colleague saying they're taking Delta flight 100 on vacation, you suggest they might also like to try Acros or TMAX...

...a random person asks you to take their photograph at a tourist site, and by the time you give the camera back to them, you've completely reconfigured it to your preferences and they can't figure out how it works anymore

.....when you're going on holiday and can't decide which kit to take, so you take it all, get charged a baggage supplement, carry it round some country that has a midday temperature (in the shade) akin to being inside a blast furnace for two weeks and then come home with a few badly-exposed snapshots and needing a chiropractor.

.....when, faced with the choice of paying bills, buying food or "investing" in a new lens, the bailiffs arrive, the kids / wife go hungry but you can photograph it all really well as a social documentary project.
