You are a Photographer if....
When performing daily duties, you adjust the angle of your head or change your line of vision for a more interesting composition .
You look at a desk full of tax returns and wonder how you could photograph the stack.
You’ve gotten a ticket for an illegal u-turn– to go back for THE shot.
Everyone hands you their cameras at family events and says”take some photos for me”
You pity, and judge, members of the public when you see them using their big, fancy dSLR in… automatic…
the image taken as a visual memo with your phone has a sophisticated composition.
The sign “no flash photography” means nothing to you and makes you laugh, because YOU don’t need a flash
You think in f-stops
You try to go “full manual” with your p&s or phone camera
You are driving past “scary” parts of town and can’t wait to use it for a shoot!
You have finally become oblivious to the odd stares you get when you whip out your camera to take a sweet shot that no one else seems to notice but you.
You watch a movie and pay more attention to the aperture then what’s happening in the movie
While wearing polarizing sunglasses, you rotate your head left and right to assess what impact your circular polarizing filter might have on a potential shot
The camera in your hand is more comfortable than the tennis shoes on your feet.
