Oh, and with the hubby yelling at me to stop scaring the lizard.

Um, sorry honey. And yet, I continued taking photos...

I'm really bad that way sometimes...

[QUOTE=Joey the girl;643598...when your dog sees you getting out the camera, and he gets excited because he knows your about take him outside while you take pictures in the backyard.[/QUOTE]

LOL My dog knows the difference between the camera bag I use for dog walks, the one I use for special people type events(no dogs) and the camera itself (I'm likely going to ask her to sit still and not move and results in yawns)

*When you dream of a post-revolution cyberpunk future where you can operate to have your camera permanently attached to your face.
*When you dream of having invisibility, flying, time-travelling superpowers and using it for good, not evil, photography (to take that photo you missed/frakked up/was too scared to take).
*When you fantasize of one day upping "travel photography" one level and do "time-travel photography". Possibly getting a portrait or (or eleven) of a madman with a box

/scfi-fi geek pride, signing out.
