Humorous story, then serious subject.....

I was asked to bring a few of my photographs to a friends house who
wanted to show them to someone. I hate doing that and was reluctant
but, I caved in a brought over three photos. We then drove to her
friends house, where just before dinner was being served, my friend
was showing the three photos. The response was an interesting
one......

wow these photos are great, you must have a great camera!

Well, after dinner and, on the way out the door when we were
leaving, my girldfirend says.....

the food was delicious....... those must be great pots and pans
you have!!

he he

Ok, on a serious note:
I was walking on the pier at the beach and a woman stopped and
looked at my weird looking F717. She immediately asked me.... are
you a photographer ? I told her I live and breathe with this
camera and yes, sometimes I'm a photographer.

I find myself in a strange way these days. Everywhere I go, I find
myself looking at things very differently. It's like I'm in
constant hunt for a photograph through my eyes. DO you find
yourself doing this ? It's like a disease... really !! I
find myself doing this while I drive, when I walk, when I'm in
someone else's car as a passenger, when I'm simply walking in the
parking lot to my car after leaving a store shopping.... this is
getting out of hand... it's nuts! lol Is there a cure ?

Sometimes it's really annoying to others. I was a the zoo last week
and my lady friend complained I was taking too long to walk through
the zoo. Then she complained I was taking too many photos of each
animal. Then she complained it was too hot out. Then she
complained I wasn't holding her hand enough while we walked. Ok, so
the zoo trip got out of hand. lol
Lesson.... NEVER take anyone with you on a photo shoot.... never!

Well, that's enough rant!! I was SOOOO tired of Sony bashing talk,
F717 return talk, I had to do something. Feel free to comment
all you want and, tell me what a nut I am..... in a perpetual hunt
for photographics.

Have a nice night,

what ever can you photograph in your office that's photographic ? lol

Sorry I made you feel camera lonely today... it's ok, your camera
forgives you for leaving it in the truck while you are in the
office.

I bet there's one place you surely do NOT take the camera.......

in the bathroom h ehe he

This has been my life for 11 months now. lol Pretty much exactly
as you put it. When I drive with my wife and she sees me
rubbernecking at something her comment "See a good picture, there,
didja?" It is out of hand and completely uncontrollable. I plan
my family events around it...

I can't go out anywhere without my camera. Always. I just wish I
had more time to use it. I take it with me, but most of the time
just wish I had more time to stop.

Today at work was especially painful. We've had a crummy fall, and
the leaves have fallen but the colors never changed. It's been
gray and cold - but today the temps snuck up to 60, and it was the
most beautiful late fall afternoon sun. Unfortunately I'm looking
at it through my office window. I was working on some stuff with
my headphones on and heard the dejay talking about what a beautiful
evening it was (btw, it's pitch black by 5:30 here now, so this was
about 3:30-4:00). Anyway, I looked out my office window and I
could just feel the rush - then the disappointment. I went to the
window and everything was golden. Had my camera been in my office
and not the truck I would have taken a picture from my offce.
Instead, I just stood there yearning to be out. Everything was a
photo.

I dont' know what it is, but lately everything has had more of a
romantic look to it. Maybe it's because I haven't been out
consciously shooting, or because I haven't had time. It's made the
desire all the worse.

Okay, now you got me in the mood..... I'm going to go setup pics in
my office....

GREAT POST!! I have to watch my driving all the time thanks to
looking for subjects... You are right on!! I've also had to pass
on a good photo shoot because of a (let's see what word should I
