when your photo gear costs as much as the payoff amount on your car.

I'm not so original, so I'm going to use one Elijah just told me. LOL

"...when your idea of zoom is stepping forward or backward." (prime lenses FTW!!)

when someone can write down roman numerals and all u see is features on a Nikon LENS.... ha ha

when you catch yourself watching football games just to catch glimpses of photographers and their HUGE lenses!

the last one is me! haha

when you have had the Nikon vs Canon debate at least 5 times in your life.

... you think of the weather not in terms of sunny, overcast and cloudy but rather ISO 100, ISO 200, and ISO 400

You start selling everything else to save for a new Camera...like my GF does...

i watch sports to see the cameras E haha.

i notice that they're all canon :P

you look at the last yellow skittle and think of what an awesome picture that would make :P

when you are driving around and all you think of is whether or not that would make a good spot.

when you wake up your parents at 3am cause u got bored and decided to start playing with your flash and umbrella to take portraits of urself.

when Flickr is your home page.

when you are watching a basketball game and a player runs into the photographers and all you can think of is nooooo thats like 10k worth of equipment you are stepping on.

when you are driving around and all you think of is whether or not that would make a good spot.


Been there. I usually come across a great location when I don't have my camera. I guess that means that I'm not a photographer.

when you have your camera with you everywhere you go.... ha ha

hahaha i was just going to say that

...when people ask are you paparazzi.

^^lol has that really happened to you?

Yeah once when we had a big group. I'm not sure how serious the question was though lol. It's either that or they assume that since the cameras are so large it means we must be pro photogs.

when people see portraits you've done for friends and ask for the contact info for your studio...

when you dont arrange the photoshoot, it just happens

when your idea of lighting for shoots is an iPod Touch and a Blackberry phone with a white screen and brightness turned up to high. ha ha

when your 9 year old cousin says "i dont think Jason could survive without his camera"

when the rent-a-cop tells you to leave

when Chase Jarvis is your hero!

back lit with an LED flashlight diffused with a 35mm film canister, lit on the right side with an ipod touch with the Flashlight app on, flamin hot cheetos bag cut in half to light the left side, and a mirror on top to light the front glass element.

Now picture the LED laying behind the lens, the ipod touch leaning on a keyboard and held up by a 35mm camera in front of it, the chip bag and mirror being hand held on the side side and top at the same time all while trying to depress the shutter to make the timer go off to get the shot.

nice

You know you're a Photographer when...

You finally come to terms that no amount of $$ spent on gear is going to make you any better than someone with lesser gear. People will like your work and won't even know or care how much money you spent...

"Photography will most likely not make you rich but offer you deep satisfaction,fulfillment and joy beyond imagination."
