10. You have nightmares of people using the “P mode” we won’t even talk about the “green mode.” That’s just too scary.

9. 30,000 family photos neatly categorized in Lightroom. Zero photos of you.

8. When at a car dealership, you translate the price of a car in your head to “Six 5D Mark II’s.” Your last power bill cost two monopods.

7. Touchdown plays are somewhat distracting because you can see the white glass on the sidelines

6. You are frequently greeted with “What are you taking a picture of?!?” instead of “hello.”

5. You’d rather buy the shirt that more closely resembles 18% gray

4. Your carry-on is heavier than your checked bags

3. You describe disgusting old dilapidated barns as “beautiful”

2. Number of lenses is more than the Pairs of shoes you own

1. You actually believe a wizard could fit in your pocket

wow so true,,m, I am currently suffering from "Relative Overload Syndrome" none of my family come by anymore because(the following is a list of reasons) "all you do is sit there working on your pics in your computer" all you want me to do is pose for you so you can practice" "When I come by that lil sign that says out taking photos is always on the door" "all we ever do is look at your pics" "when you ask us to join you for a hike, you turn us in to photographic equipment sherpas" and on and on so now they hardly stop by....but im good with that gives me more time to work on my pics,practice on still life, go places I havent been to yet and revisit some I have, and as for haveing sherpas carrying my stuff..wel it all fits in my backpack and they typically make to much noise anyways.

When the pastor speaks about weakness of the flesh you feel guilty about
lens lust.

Sarge,

Corollary to #3: You complain about gas costing $4.00/gallon, but you'll drive two hours to get to the barn for a picture.

PD
