You know you're a photographer if.....

I found this funny bit of information on photography and thought I would share it here!

You know you're a photographer if...

1 GB of memory lasts most people a month but barely lasts you the afternoon.

You know what aperture-priority means.

You delete more photos in a week than most people make all year.

You need just one more lens.

You’ve crawled on the ground to get a shot of something rusty.

Your camera equipment is worth more than your car.

No one else brings a camera to an event if they know you’re coming.

Your family doesn’t recognize you without a camera covering your face.

You have thousands of pictures and you’re not in any of them.

You’ve been up before dawn or out in the freezing cold or even done something semi-dangerous… all for a photograph.

Your friends ask you to shoot a family Christmas portrait for them as a favor.

You wish your camera equipment cost less so that your insurance would cost less.

You put your digital film wallet in your pants pocket in the morning even before your car keys.

You have enough camera bags in your closet to pack up your entire house.

You choose airlines based on carry on baggage allowance.

PS7 is a software program and not a school you attended as a child.

Your family cringes every time you say, "I'll be right there, I just need to take a couple shots of this."

You show up to your kid's holiday program at school with the "small" camera bag.

You have a "photo allowance" for each vacation so you can print and scrapbook (or put in albums) all of the photo opps.

You plan family trips around the photo opportunities that they present.

You don't worry about the new stain on the carpet because you can clone it out.

You are so use to photographer terms that you refer to putting your makeup on as workflowing your face!

You have sorted your laundry into 'high key' and 'low key' piles.

You go to movies you spend more time trying to figure out their lighting than trying to figure out the plot.

You have your family assist you in carrying your living room furniture into the woods because... you had this vision.

You buy LARGE UGLY GOLDEN CHAIRS FROM THE 1970's AT GARAGE SALES AND FLEA MARKETS to use as props.

Young children at the family reunion or holiday get together run up to you yelling CHEESE at the top of their lungs.


I hope you guys got a good laugh out of this!!!!
