...You look at friend's blogs to see the pics they've posted, but become more interested in the ones they've inserted from a free stock site...

You offer your mother to go through her many many "poorly" shot photos and edit them just because you can't stand looking at them like this.
You don't bother checking other web sites than those related to photography.
You watch America's Top Model because of the photo shoots and when you watch CSI you pay special attention to the cameras used. |

| You fall thru frozen ice and after getting yourself out you stop to take a picture of the hole even though you're soaking wet and freezing. Sorry Linda I couldn't resist. |

You buy a bottle of Vodka - for the bottle. And don't even consider drinking it because you might want to take another picture with it later with the cap intact.
You watch CSI because you get excited watching the ring flash in action.
You know all the prices of all the camera bodies and lenses for each major company in more than 20 places, including second hand stores.
You ask someone if you can take their picture and tell them not to worry because you have Neat Image.
You encounter the sentence "I have a woody." and immediately think of wooden art dolls.
Your major criteria for a girlfriend is that she has good skin tones and knows her way around a DSLR.
You have a bowl of cereal and think of three pictures - the spoon, the drop into milk and stop motion on pouring it.
You go to shave in the morning and try to think of a way to make a pic without your reflection.
You go traveling and remember your camera, memory cards, extra battery, lens pen, mini-tripod, charger, USB cable, portable hard drive, polarizing filters and tripod weights, but forget your toothbrush.
You see a woman in sexy boots riding an old crummy bicycle and start thinking of frame crops and titles.
You practice making kids smile on the train.
When you get kids to make great expressive faces, you find yourself moving around to get the best background - even if you aren't using a camera.
You see a nice flower and lean in - not to smell it, but to wonder what magnification would be required to make a really nice macro.
You have ever placed an insect in a fridge.
You look at a pretty girl's eyes and start wondering what colour channel to saturate to make them really "Pop".
You get dizzy watching heavy traffic pass by, thinking about how you can improve your panning shots.
You can hear the focus-lock beep of a DSLR 30 feet away in a crowded room.
You know all the cutesy start-up sounds of P&S cameras by brand name.
Your friend asks you "hey, what's new?" and you try to remember the news from dpreview.com
You wake up in the morning and before getting out of bed, you list off all the available challenges.
On your way out of the house, you try to think of all the places you need to go and if there are any good photo ops for this week's challenges.
You started sorting through your pictures in early December for the "Best of 2005" challenge you knew would be coming.
You don't mind if kids don't smile at you because other emotions can get ribbons too.
You buy cans of Pringles and give the chips away to kids because you want to make some special lighting.
You own a tripod JUST for your flash.
You own several flashlights and have them referened by colour temperature.
You like plastic bags because they can make neat colours if you hold them over your flash.
You keep a tissue in your pocket just for your flash.
You go to your friend's house for dinner and ask to use his computer to check your score before you eat.
You see a goldfish pond and immediately think of your polarizer.
When you are talking to a person, you spend time examining their face trying to figure out what distance would be most flattering to the length of their nose.
You are seriously contemplating buying an airplane ticket just to meet Manny Librodo in the Philippines.

When your significant other has carried your tripod for more than 10,000 km's has stood by and watched you take 10's of 1000's of photographs, has patiently waited while you MUST check the shots and edit them for hours on end.
When, your significant other has watched you in your sleep doing the actions of putting up a tripod.
When they find it difficult to visualize your face without a camera attached to it.
When, the one that loves you is jealous of a 500mm piece of glass.
When the patient and ever so loving partner decides, that she needs some attention or you need therapy. So she asks in all seriousness "Honey if I threw your Canon EOS-1D Mark II with your Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM attached to it out the window from 19 floors up, would you still love me? Then in all seriousness he replies, "Can I ask a question first before I answer" So, she glaringly says ok let's hear it, and he replies, "Will you be replacing them"
When, you are now too afraid to ask your significant other to hold said camera equipment in case she damages it. Your tripod is now, suddenly viewed as a terrible weapon in the hands of a glass jealous lover. ROFL :D

when you tear up and rehearse your goodbye speech to your no longer needed Canon EOS-300D Rebel before handing it over to your significant other with 3 hours of do's n don'ts .Then console yourself with at least this way i'll still get to see it and while she's becoming obsessed with it herself she'll no longer nag me for sex on rollover nights lolol

There is no sex allowed on rollover nights. Hence, the name. ;-) |

... you get over your childhood phobia of spiders because you have spent hours taking pictures of them.
... (in old film days) go for a trip and spend more on film then you do on hotel rooms.
... your explain to your significant other that the new lens is for you both since they can use it too.
... you take your laptop to bed so you can review your day's shots.
... you have better equipment then the professional photographer at a wedding. (and take better shots of the wedding)
... have to be careful with filing your shots since you have wrapped the 100,000 more then once.
... have wrapped the 100,000 picture limit period :-)
... think nothing of taking 10gb of pictures on a weekend
... still have to shot jpg because if shot raw would be 40 gb on a weekend
... had to buy a 160 gb external hard-drive and still filled it. |

I gota disagree with this part - I did this long before I knew what a camera was. If you understand what "walks" are in this context then you know what I mean :-) |

Or DrJones in Montreal or just to hang out in his studio for a while.
....When standing at the trainstation/bus stop on a cold winters day while it's raining & thinking about all those really great rain droplets splashing in the puddles that you could be photographing.
....when you find yourself photographing other photograhers at sports events so that you can check out there gear later on.
