I'm not exactly sure what has gotten into me. Maybe it's the long hours. Maybe someone spiked my eggnog latte (which was homemade and therefore proses another question...) Who knows, maybe I am just a little crazy and have somehow managed to fool you all! 

As I was getting ready this morning this little phrase sprang into my head. You might be a photographer if... and out came a slew of ridiculous items. I would love, LOVE for you to chime in! Life is boring without laughter and who better to laugh at then ourselves.

You might be a photographer if....
• your nose is a little off center. just a tad.
• you are invited to really beautiful events but only because your camera doesn't have legs and a mind of it's own.
• you don't flinch when someone asks you about a F stop.
• you know that deep down it's really all about the glass.
• you cringe when someone says your camera takes really nice pictures.
• b&h is your homepage.
• you think 8x10 is the smallest size in the world.
• you can recite the price of a 8x10 like it's your middle name.
• it's been two months and you haven't had time to upload your vacation pictures.
• vacation pictures? you don't have any vacation pictures!
• you never get SEO and ISO confused. They don't even have anything to do with one another.
• on any given monday before 10 am you can be found at Pro Photo Supply.
• your chiropractor has given up trying to explain how to hold your bag of gear. 
• you see your chiropractor more then your own mother
• you purchase clothes depending on if and how you can squat, kneel, lay down and run in them. 
• your shoes only last a few months until they are totally trashed but you can't decide between trashing a new pair and continuing to wear the same ones even though it's totally unprofessional. 
• you are apart of one or more of the following; WPJA, PPA, PPO, PMPA, WPPI, SPA

and drum roll.... 
• you think the iphone camera is amazing because it gives you a excuse to upload photos without editing them.



And just for kicks here's a photo of me working at a recent wedding.

Seriously. Share some more "You might be a photographer if..." lines. Too funny. 

You might be a photographer if....

You might be a photographer if...you have other people's wedding photos hanging on your walls, but your own are nowhere to be found!

Ha ha! Those were so great! Sara's comment is spot on too! I know I'm a photographer because... my new lens cost more than my house payment. EEEK!

You might be a photographer if...while driving (or hopefully, someone else is) you are constantly searching out interesting backgrounds for portraits, you're at a party and you find yourself color correcting everyone's face, you ask for gear instead of clothes for Christmas!

You might be a photographer if you're secretly smiling when the clouds roll in - even though the bride was really hoping for a bright sunny day to make her wedding day perfect.

"You might be a photographer if..." Your dining table has been taken over by your laptop, packaging supply, print/book orders, Shootsac, blank DVDs, etc. Why? Because you've outgrown your office space and the husband doesn't mind eating dinner on the couch. So, I'd like to think.
