OMG - I love it...

If you make sure to take your camera bag out of the car every time you park it. In case the car is stolen. Screw the car, you can always get another one. But the camera gear is *special*!

if you tend to talk for at least 20 minutes if someone mentions they might be looking to buy a camera.

I have to add one.... YMBAP if you are looking at your husband on your anniversary dinner before he leaves for 3 weeks...and you notice what great catch lights the windows at the resturant are giving him....and ponder the placement of your lights to get that arrangements for your next photoshoot....

I swear, it was just a minute.... lol....then I returned to the conversation at hand... *grin*

YMBAP if you actually take pictures of your cameras and post them on your blog.

YMBAP if you think of selling everything else but your camera gear in order to pay your tax today.

if the dog hair on the floor covers the floor, the kids are eating all the frozen dinners, the pile of ironing is as tall as your eyeballs, and you don't care because you have photos to process!!!

if you are driving around and paying more attention to the landscape and lighting of potential portrait locations instead of driving. (I am so guilty of this one! Watch out!)

YMBAP...if you see a bunch of bees outside by the bushes to your front porch and think "macro opportunity!"

(that's me 20 minutes ago)

YMBAP …if you’ve tested the minimum focusing distance of your eyes.

I can say that I've done that on numerous occasions and have measured it to be around 3 inches...

YMBAP … when you see a camera used in a movie you have to pause the film to explain to your family what camera they were using and why that lens was not the right one to use in the situation.

Actually did this one. :)

Your new office is contingent upon the natural light avaliable and photo ops :)

You dress your children in cute outfits every time you leave, just in case you roll by that *perfect* photo spot! (done this a couple times...)

You see a portrait in a cartoon, we'll go with Family Guy, and you think. . .wow the shadows on that portrait are horrible. . . yup. . . I critiqued a cartoon portrait. . .
