Photodoto has a nice post entitled “10 ways to tell if you’re a photographer“, see if you recognise yourself in the list.
The only ones that don’t really apply to me are number 6 and number 7, well number 8ish. While I have been asked if I am bringing my camera so others don’t need to a lot of the events I go to have other rabid photographers there too. My car is definitely worth more than my camera equipment, you do have to have a sense of proportion about these things. Having said that I have “invested” in so much camera equipment I could have paid my car loan off instead …
- 1 GB of memory lasts most people a month but barely lasts you the afternoon.
- You know what aperture-priority means.
- You delete more photos in a week than most people make all year.
- You need just one more lens.
- You’ve crawled on the ground to get a shot of something rusty.
- Your camera equipment is worth more than your car.
- No one else brings a camera to an event if they know you’re coming.
- Your family doesn’t recognize you without a camera covering your face.
- You have thousands of pictures and you’re not in any of them.
- You’ve been up before dawn or out in the freezing cold or even done something semi-dangerous… all for a photograph.
