... and when you are looking down at your camera's lcd to check the picture, you realise she doesn't recognise you anymore without the camera on your face

... there isnÂ´t a single picture of you in the family album, except for the ones with your shoes when using the fisheye

When you go out near sunset during thunderstorms to get a great beach shot and as you jog down the trail in the thick mud to the beach, you slide and fall into poison oak and all you can think of is trying to hold your camera up so it doesn't get mud on it.

When the wife told you 3 weeks ago that dinner was ready, then she said its in the dustbin, then she said shes going out, then she said ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?, then she packed all her bags and took the kids to her mothers, then she called you 74 times and on the 75th time you answer and say "Sorry I was setting up a shot".

when your children see anything scenic and naturally sit in front of it prefectly posed and smiling for their shot...

Or the children are in the car and see something they think is cool and say pull over for a picture (and the are only 3&5 years old)

i got stuck in the pouring rain last week at the bottom of some rocks near a rock pool, i couldn't go anywhere for cover, so i grabbed the husband's t-shirt and covered the body of the camera with it, and kept shooting... got some great pics too, and the best thing was , the cam is perfectly fine.. i had some raindrops to clone out, but other than that, all was good....!!!!

When you take customer's cars for road tests (I'm a mechanic/shop owner) and take your camera along, "just in case".

Yesterday, I snagged this on a drive-by shooting...

When you're driving home from the hospital, after spending all night (about 14 hours) with your son in the ER...after he broke his arm in three places...and have to stop along the way to take pictures because the sunrise is creating an absolutely beautiful silhouette for the challenge that week. Not that I would know anything about anyone doing that sort of thing. No. Not me. ;)

I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but this thread reminds me of the old photographer's joke:

Question on a photojournalist job interview for a famous newspaper:

You're walking along a pier on a clear day, at around sunset. Suddenly you see a little girl drowning, calling for help in the water. In that case,
-what aperture and shutter speed would you use?
-what would your caption be?

A little morbid, but it sounded funny a couple of years ago :(

Here are a couple that I've learned in the past few days...

Your significant other, who *adores* photography (and WORKS at Canon), gets so sick of hearing about photos/cameras/challenges/current scores/shots/photography in general, that he sighs and leaves you standing alone in the grocery store... and checks out... and loads the car... before you notice he's left because you're searching for a good photography magazine and looking at artsy magazines for ideas.

You tell your S.O. that you'll be to bed in a minute, and then 4 hours later you verrryy carefully creep into bed. When he mumbles, "That was a long minute..." You say, "I had to pee..."

You close/lock your bedroom door when you want to change clothes, (and have kids that often bust in without knocking), and you jump online to check scores... and end up on DPC for 20 mins. When someone knocks, you get up and open the door and they groan because you haven't even started changing.

All three of these have happened to me really recently... *sheepish* :)

When it snows and you're watching the landscape you suddenly tell yourself to take off the IR filter.

I swear I don't control my mind some times.
