You know photography has taken over your life when...

When you have a tattoo like this...

sweathog you won ;)

I'd add, .. when the first thing you do after getting up is scanning the negatives which have been drying over night.

Hah hah hah hah .... you too, Keith? I thought that was just me.
 
My number one is: When gorgeous women you hardly know contact you to have their picture taken. It has happened to me quite a few times now...

Why the hell didn't I take up photography when I was still a teenager? :bang:
 
When you buy your 5th Fed2 or Kiev4 having sold the previous four, even though each time you were determined to save save for a Leica or a Contax.

When your primary tattoo is

(Yes, it's mine. I got it senior year of college when I started working as a Teaching Assistant instructing photo 1 and 2 classes. And realized it is what I am going to end up doing with my life.)
 
If one HAD to get a tattoo, that is definitely the one to get. Beautiful!

Go to http/thepriceofsilver.blogspot.com and scroll down a few postings to "The embroidered jean jacket ~ 1974"

(one of these years my addled brain will learn how to post photos on the forum) If somebody else wants to post it then go for it! Thanks. Shot by my ex Stephanie Brundage, M.D. with a Minolta Autocord. The hair is mine...LOL..and I did the embroidery. I was going through boxes of old prints and ran across this one. It just seemed to fit this thread!

Your friend gets hit square in the face with a kicked soccer ball and you're more concerned whether or not you got the shot (I did.. on point of impact. Ball touching face).
 
The other day I was driving, and the sun was glaring right into my eyes, and while grabbing for my sunglasses I thought "Here.. these will turn down my ISO".
 
And one I'm not particularly proud of, last night while driving home from work, there was a very big accident on the highway. They had to get STARS ambulance (helicopter ambulance, usuallu reserved for VERY serious injuries/death). I had my D300 and 70-200 in the passenger seat, grabbed it, hopped out and started snapping away.. Got back in my car thinking "wow! what a cool photo opportunity!", and didnt think about the person involved in the accident for a few minutes.

That was kind of a crappy feeling, the photos were first on my mind, and the very seriously injured passenger(s) were only an afterthought.

Got one of those too.

8. When you've been through a photography-related divorce.

9. When in the hospital, under anaesthesia, you deliver a one hour lecture on aperture, shutter speed and depth of field to one of the nurses.
