Default You know you're getting into photography...

when you're at your friends wedding and instead of looking at how beautiful the bride is, you're checking out the photographer's technique and equipment

Is that really sad? lol

As a photographer you always see things in a different perspective. I know I am always looking at anything and wondering how it would look if i did this or that. or how great that would look if i was at this angle or that angle.
Everything is a potential masterpiece

you know you are getting into photography when;

you drive slower than you ever did because there is potential in everything you see...my family thinks I'm going nuts.

You know you're getting into photography when...

You're hanging out your driver side window trying to drive slow enough to get that perfect shot, praying that no one in front of your stops and no one behind you rear ends you!

You know you're getting into photography when...

...you shoot a mosquito larvae, then let it live, as a modeling fee.

...you find a dandelion a wondrous source of abstract art.

...you can spend 8 hours shooting at a Renaissance Faire without stopping for a turkey leg.

...you post-process your dreams while asleep.
