...It's a beautiful fall day, with a perfectly blue sky. And my first instinct was to grab my polarizing filter, look through it (without even attaching it to a lens) and rotate it just to see what effect it would have. Pathetic...

You look at a landscape out your car window (without a camera) and think that it needs to be cropped.

You overhear someone bragging about how fast their "9mm Beretta" shoots and your first thought is to wonder what the maximum aperture is.

...the biggest issue in your life is "Canon vs. Nikon".

Oh and there are others that are also very similar except they just don't use the word "addicted" but it's too numerous to list. :P

You know you are addicted when you can post cross references to other threads :-P

Instead of simply replying to a thread, you shoot, edit and post pictures.

You definately know you are addicted to photography, especially your camera, when I trip, loose my balance, and fall over flat on my face, landing quite winded, brused, and shaken. What do I do, well I reached out, and saved my camera, before saving myself.
I did this again just two days ago, and the bruises, and sore spots, are still coming out, but the camera is fine.
I saved my much loved camera, and thats all that matters.....

When you look at someone's cute family snapshots and can't help thinking how much better they'd look with just a touch of post-processing...

You're a better woman than I, Shez. Mine indeed hit the ground and now the filter is forever permanently attached. BUT when the folks walking by asked "Are you OK?" I didn't even answer - I just sat there trying to see if the camera still worked. My rib cage still hurts, too, by the way. :-)

Ouch! Wishing you both speedy healing and steady feet!

And...I was doing okay with the addiction criteria until I hit the one wanting to edit other people's pictures. A friend of mine just bought a D70 and said he thought he'd be happy with the one lens that came with it. I tried not to laugh too hard.

...when you turn on your computer first thing in the morning, and click your DPC update button before you check your email.

...When you have nightmares about your camera being stolen and broken.

I don't mentally judge the attractiveness of a person anymore, I think of a setup to take their portrait.
