When interest turns to addiction
You know photography has become an addiction when:
...You go out at 5pm to shop for dinner, and return 3 hours later, to make it worse you bought a roast or forgot to buy something at all.
....When you are up to your knees fully clothed in water, and waves are crashing around you in the middle of winter.
....When you remember to look around you and realise it’s dark and you are alone in a desolate place.
....When you take photos of waves, and through the lens your beloved dog appears washing out to sea.
...Or you look around , the tide has come in and you’re stranded on a rock.
....When you need a dental crown and you choose to get a wide angle lens instead.
....You can’t work out what is alarming on your camera, and realise it’s the mobile phone in your pocket.
....When you haven’t seen your partner in a week, and on your one night off you choose the camera club!

How so true, yes I can relate to this also. Maybe it just happens to us new people to the art?

I hope so, ‘cos if it keeps up, I’ll need a maid too, as nothing else gets done!!

Now the fun starts. Take your partener with you and get stranded together.

This is a great read indeed! Thanks for putting a smile on my face!
I usually take my two young children bushwalking with me when i go for a day shooting, but i have to be careful now as i tend to “zone out” when i’m behind my camera and the kids like to go exploring… (But don’t fear- the kids know to stay where i can see them.)

... When you hunt down your L series lenses one by one off Ebay taking chnaces on items sight unseen…. then pay for them on credit card and transfer that debt over 18 months from one interest free transfer period to another…
My better half now controls our finances…

Oh ooooh! I shall cut mine up before it starts!

I have put my crown off for a lens! My other teeth work fine and the 100-400 is a kick arse lens. I gather from the tone of this email that I have a problem, I am not seeing one though – is that bad?
PETER CULLEY
Annibels… Yes … Yes cut it up now, then burn it and post the ashes to a PO Box unknown in Morroco…I am in a state of anxiety fighting the voices in my head that I must have a 65 MPE…
Simon… You sir are completely done for… I may well see you at the denture clinic sometime in the future…
annibels replied
Too late – just bought 10 – 24mm !! :0))
PETER CULLEY
Annibels… Ok I am figuring your actions give me a precedent to just buy my ‘last’ lens… I promise to myself this will be the finish…
PETER CULLEY
Good grief i just added another Metz to my collection… How do i ban myself from Ebay?
