The non-photographer's spouse says...

[Thardy]

My husband.. AHEM.. supports my hobby insofar as it doesn't empty the bank account gearwise. Photographically he will be working out in the yard and tell me to come out, he sees something I should photograph, or do I want to shoot inside the car engine (macro) since he has it open. When out of town he will take photos of what he sees to share them with me. It's more of a sharing thing with him, not art, but what I always hear is "Do you have your camera with you?" or "Can you get this it's kinda far away" or "I don't know if you are interested in this kind of thing but.."

Ok. You can't just mention car engine macros and not have ANY links to them!

Dear Fred,

True. But I think we were all being generous, because the meaning was clear enough, even though the title wasn't.

Cheers,

Yes but I would have been more interested in what the non-photographer's spouse says...

How do they cover up those $7000 purchases? 🙂

The title just makes no sense in light of the responses. The non-photographer's spouse says...

"...Hey honey, I've got an idea: why don't you take up photography!"

I'm currently single, but whoever chooses to be with me will have to respect that I love photographing. However, I also will have to respect that they might not care about photography and respect what they are into. Honestly, one of the only things that I will give up a day of photography for is to be with a great woman.

Truth !

My gf asked me to get on with the development so she could join me in the darkroom for the printing (read fun) part 🙂
So far she's tolerated my bringing my camera everywhere and shooting her often 😀

Exactly!

I am greedy I prefer both. 😉

Well, that's the ideal choice.

Dear Fred,

It's worked for me since 1981...

Cheers,

What has your significant other said to you that made you realize they have no appreciation for your hobby which you are passionate about?

...You SHOULD SELL SOME.....

My wife is just glad that I'm out the house and off her back for a few hours every weekend. 😀

My wife thinks I'm with my mistress and my mistress thinks I'm spending time with my family. This enables them both to get off their backs and me to get work done for my clients.

Frank, that is a fantastic picture. I love it!

It's all about ying and yang or balance: my partner spends money on certain things and so do I. As long as we keep in the black it's all good.
