Who else pulls out the camera in funny places? *pic* - 09-07-2006, 04:41 PM


I always get messed w/ by friends cuz I will grab my camera ANYtime something catches my interest, anywhere. Sometimes the strangest places. Last night I found myself w/ rebel in hand in the middle of a chinese resturant gettin a few shots of the pretty fish... I bet I looked like an idiot, and I didn't care! lol


Here is a pic from that "shoot"...
Looks like living in a tank all your life can be depressing. :)

looks more like DINNER...

I get people who look at me funny because I have a camera in my hand most of the time.
But, they are happy when they get the annual calendar with all the pretty pictures on it from me.

I have mine out at work all the time, I work in a hotel, so it can get pretty boring. I drive the housekeeping staff nuts!

My wife and oldest daughter usually give me a funny look or eye roll when I take the camera somewhere "just in case". When I don't take it and I see something photo worthy, they say, "You should've brought the camera".

Funny. My wife teases me when I do the same thing. Especially since I've joined this forum, I have always my camera near.

Probably doesn't count but here's some I took. 1st & last where while I was driving home from work. The other was at the new PF Chang's off Hwy 249, near Willowbrook Mall.

yeah, i usually take my camera everywhere. although it's heavy!

and people give me strange looks, especially when i'm pointing my camera at them. :P
i guess that's what happens when you use a 50mm lens.

I ALWAYS have mine, and I WILL NOT leave it in the car! So, my camera goes everywhere with me, in the store, resturants, doctors, movies, ect... I've gotten plenty of good shots cuz I "happened" to have it with me. I used to to a "Virtual Saturday w/ HPS (me)" on another board every Sat, and it was the equivalent of the day-in-the-life posts here, so I got really good at taking pics of pointless things.

What I think is funny is when I get weird looks for taking pics of something no one else gets, but I have a good reason for lol...

P.S.- The point of my post....


Because of how I take it with me and in everywhere I go, my wife has dubbed the camera bag/backpack my "Man Purse"!
