Her…

• You go on a first date with lingerie that has little cameras printed on it.
• Finally the lingerie drawer has to go and your light modifiers now have a proper place.
• You don’t go to a chick-flick with the girls to stay home and watch Nikon adverts on YouTube.
• Your supplier keeps phoning to talk to you about fashionable camera straps.
• Your only suspender belt has ‘Nikon’ embroidered on each suspender.
• Your new boyfriend is hot because he owns a Leica.
• A girlfriend says that on the second date you should take your ‘cap’ – you take a lens cap.
• Love is when you share everything except your camera.
• Your new boyfriend gave you one of those coffee mugs that look like a camera lens – you like it.
• You have sewn a cool little pouch onto your camera strap for your lipstick.
• You have 23 camera shops on speed-dial.
• You are not ready to sleep with your new boyfriend and tell him to f/stop.
• You keep spare memory cards in your hidden chocolate box, not chocolate.
• Your intervalometer fires your Nikon to wake you up in the morning.
• Family Sunday is portrait day… Yaay!
• You are unsure what sort of pleasure you should be getting from a softbox.
• You go to the beach and now have a suspicious white diagonal band across your tan.
• ‘See-through-sexy’ is a 50mm f1.2.
• You have a special mirror for straightening your camera straps.
• You spend 20 minutes in a camera store choosing what colour your next lens cloth should be.
• Your boyfriend rings and tells you he’s had an accident – you ask if his camera is OK.
• You ask in a camera shop if you need adoption papers for a ‘Lensbaby’.
• You finally decide to sleep with your boyfriend – you ask if a UV filter is good enough protection.
• Your favorite song is “One day my prints will come”…
• You go to a gynecologist because you have been told you should keep your ‘velvia’ in the fridge.
• You get a 3-legged cat from the cat home. You call it ‘Tripod’.
• You know that ‘Green Mode’ does not mean you are a vegetarian.
• Your hand-luggage is heavier than your suitcases.
• Lenses owned: 26. Pairs of shoes: 1
• You rearrange your make-up drawer to improve the composition.
• Finally you dump your handbag. Your lipstick, license and credit-cards fit fine in your new camera bag.
• You have unsuccessfully tried to go back to ‘green mode’ seventeen times.
• The camera you hold is more comfortable than the trainers on your feet.
• You can’t post your daily picture today – it was accidentally taken in ‘P’ not ‘M’ – the EXIF shows you up.
• In-out; in-out; in-out… Your 500mm zoom is endlessly fascinating.
• You stop using Facebook because of ‘copyright’ issues.
• Dilapidated, rat infested, paint peeling, crumbling old barns are ‘romantic’ and ‘atmospheric’.
