Default Where were you when ....

Okay, due to "popular demand" I am moving this to games and challenges.

I will start with a "Where were you when ...." (which I'm sure will become WWYW...)

Then the person who answers will ask and so on....

Let's please keep this clean and let's stick to photography.

Here goes...

Where were you when you bought your first camera?

WWYW you realized that a nice camera doesn't make you a photographer?

WWYW you realised you had taken your first (in your opinion) awesome photo - good enough to print up big and frame it on your wall.

Thanks all for participating.

To answer, when I got my first job as a photographer, they provided all of the equipment including the camera. I have known for a very long time that this is what I wanted to do, but when I first laid my hands on a pro DSLR, I knew I had to have one of my own.

Where were you when you got on someones' nerves for photographing them?

Whoa... "baby, that was years ago" Recently, I got on Martina McBride's nerves because I "didn't" photograph her - does that count?

wwyw you were detained by police for carrying "what looked like a rocket launcher" and it turned out it was only a tripod.... (yesterday!)

Vegas, I don't think that it was as dramatic as you put it and I wasn't still paying off the camera.

WWYW you when you knew that you had the shot before you pulled the viewfinder away from your eye?

I was in the photo studio of my school because I was having my friend pose as peterpan and I kept making him do the same pose because I couldnt get the lighting and angle correctly. >.<

WWYW last took a photo of your food before you ate it?
