...you wake up sweating because you dreamt your entry was tanking at 2.0001 and you get up to go hit the update button because it all seemed too "real"...

When you post an image in 30 days of floral and check back 2 mins later to see if there are comments yet.

When you start dreaming about ideas for challenges.
Oh, and also when you go out on a date with someone and start talking about dpchallenge :-)

The nudes gallery is better than the Girls Gone Wild videos you ordered.

...seeing sliced cheese in the supermarket suddenly causes a giggling fit that is just too hard to explain to the other puzzled shoppers.

Or when you get annoyed in traffic and you have very specific visions of flaming Godzillas, and you find yourself thinking: "If only Ken/Art could deal with this right now"

... you wake up, open your eyes, look out the window at the clouds and your very first, very sleepy, thought is: "Oh my, too much neat image!!"

All true stories!

...when you stare to your mirror and conclude that you can do your makeup only with tools and adjustment layers, in the screen, instead with blush and lipstick in the mirror

...when you don't mind that your teeth are not so white. You would dodge them, anyway

He grounded himself actually, it was a bonafide addiction and he recognized it and took harsh, but appropriate, steps to rein himself in before his life disintegrated like one of his Godzilla'd villages :-)

It's 2am and you're sitting in your car, behind a car full of dudes that just left the bar, and you are inching your way to the pick-up window at the local 24-Hr Fast Food Drive-Thru, and you start wondering what kind of white balance would be needed and how much it would change every time the car in front of you hits their brakes lights. As you finally get to the window, you realize the Cross-Dressing Challenge deadline has 1 day to go and nearly every employee working the night shift meets the challenge.

The camera is in your bag, in the trunk.

Hypothetically speaking.

...when it's 11pm and you just want to check the forums to see what's going on before you go to bed.......and then you go to bed at 4am.

...when a picture pops into your head with every other post you read the in the forums and you have a compulsion to stage, shoot, edit and post it.

...when the end of the world came and went and you didn't find out about it until you read it in the rant forum.

...when you do stuff like this. ;-P

You're standing in line at the grocery store and looking at the magazine covers picking out what DPC voters would ding the photo for :-)

Go back to sleep - you're dreaming.

yeah Roz, you're not the only one..

with high scores I write everything down on a piece of paper.. score, number of votes, number of views and number of comments..

and I keep track of the votes (with a high scoring image) with the document L2 created..

when you tell your wife that with a curves layer, and a little cropping, she would be perfect!!

...when slowly post-process everyone you meet in your mind.

...when you only remember people by how they look after you post processed them in your mind.

 07/17/2007 04:13:32 PM · #71
.. when your homepage on Firefox is your own profile on DPC...
 07/17/2007 04:15:23 PM · #72
... when you read a thread like this and nod knowingly...
 07/17/2007 04:46:53 PM · #73
... when you see a picture in a magazine or on a billboard and can't imagine why they didn't fix the tilted horizon.
