You Might be a Photographer if...

I cannot claim credit for this one, I found it online and had to share! Admittedly, I had to change a couple to make them a little more "G" rated, but the idea is the same...

Maybe you've seen some of these behaviors in yourself, but have been embarrased to share??? Rest assured, there are plenty of others like you (I mean, us...) :)

1. When out to eat, you unconsciously complain aloud about lighting with mixed color
temperatures
2. When your husband tells you to “focus” and you grab your camera
3. If you say you went on a shooting spree and people look at you funny
4. You get arrested after going up to a cop and asking him if he knows where you can find a ladder because you want a better angle from which to shoot the governor
5. You pull out your camera phone at a bar and began to play with angles
6. You are getting your credential photo taken at an event, you demand for the staff taking the photo to move in order to obtain a cleaner background.
7. If you can walk into any room or onto any scene and manually set your exposure within a +/- one stop of the actual exposure.
8. When you slam your car into the back of a van and after looking around to see if you’re okay your next thought is “Well, guess I can forget bout the new Mark III”.
9. If you pray for overcast days when you're vacationing in Hawaii because "the light is better". 10. Your 2-year-old counts by saying..."1.4 2.0 2.8 4 5.6 8 11 16 22"
11. You read the photo magazines and before Us Weekly.
12. you're shooting a downhill mountain bike race that your kid is in, and he crashes and gets stuck upside down in some fallen logs, but you grab a couple of shots before you help him up
13. you're shooting a bull riding event and the bull zero's in on you, but instead of turning and running for your life, you run backwards and keep shooting...just in case.
14. You’ve scared the passengers in your car to death because you slammed on the brakes skidded to a stop, and reversed without warning in the middle of the street because you caught a great shot out of the corner of your eye.
15. You’re searching for a house to buy and find yourself frustrated by the awful photos taken by the realtors.
16. You’re the official photographer for your own wedding.
17. You are watching a pro sporting event and you are watching the photographers on the sideline more than the actual game.
18. Your friends harass you for giving unsolicited photo tips to fellow tourists while at National Parks and other weekend destinations. "Seriously, your flash will NOT improve your pictures of Mt. Rushmore..."
19. You set up remote cameras and pocket wizards at a friend's b-day party to get an angle none of your other friends might get when it comes time to blow out the candles
20. You pay attention to the wattage of light bulbs in the light fixture above your table at a restaurant.
