Default You might be a photographer if...

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” (via Lori Anderson)

2. Number of lenses > Pairs of shoes you own (Carsten Deutschmann)

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

Found here.

I can't really relate to all of them, but #3 and #1 are my favourite.

How about.

Your camera gear is worth more than your car.

Jon, Canon owners had a habit of losing their lenses in the dark so they built white ones for them.

Nikon make them for hotter climates:

I research hardware I will need in the future... :-)

I researched the hassleblad and thats the average price I'm getting as its one of the primarily tools to commercial advertising (for billboards).

wouldn't the light be bouncing all over the place into the lens on them? I assume it will just create a white tint of the photo?

9. 30,000 family photos neatly categorized in Lightroom. Zero photos of you. the only photos of me (10-15) are me with the camera to my face. Or in two cases, a hat or jacket.

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. HOW MUCH for dinner!? I could have bought a fifty with that kinda money!

7. Touchdown plays are somewhat distracting because you can see the white glass on the sidelines Also the flash. Seriously, why the hell can you see flash from the stands.

6. You are frequently greeted with “What are you taking a picture of?!?” instead of “hello.” Usually more along the lines of "What the F#&K are you taking a picture of!?!?!?

5. You’d rather buy the shirt that more closely resembles 18% gray in one, but usually black

4. Your carry-on is heavier than your checked bags Yep. I like to travel light. My gear doesn't agree

3. You describe disgusting old dilapidated barns as “beautiful” (via Lori Anderson) there still disgusting old dilapidated barns. Just disgusting old dilapidated barns that I wanna take a beautiful picture of

2. Number of lenses > Pairs of shoes you own (Carsten Deutschmann) 2 lenses, 3 pairs of shoes. Does lenses on the wishlist count? Then 15 lenses, 3 pairs of shoes.

1. You actually believe a wizard could fit in your pocket. 2 at least.
blah blah blah
