Funny {FRIDAY}

Well, since I was out of commish this week with strep throat and missed my normal What I'm {LOVING} Wednesday post, I thought I would share a Funny {FRIDAY} post instead!

I saw this article, 50 Reason NOT to Date a Photographer, a couple of weeks ago on Not a Starving Artist. My husband and I really got a chuckle out of a few of these items because he can {TOTALLY} relate. Here were our favorites from the list:

• They get angry when your friends go up to them and say “I am interested in photography, can you recommend a good camera for me?  Nothing professional I just want to take pretty pictures.”
• You can’t take a photo with them without taking at least five more.
• They’ll never photoshop something simple for you if the content is not up to their “standards.”
• That photo they randomly took of you yesterday?  Good luck getting them to send it to you.
• They spend all their time on the computer (and not for porn.)
• They won’t return your calls or text messages, but you can bet they’re still posting pics on Instagram.
• They like looking at weird things in general.
• Everything is watermarked.
• They think everyone else’s photos suck.
• They like trespassing into old abandoned buildings filled with health hazards.
• They always want to show a new photo they took, but don’t really care if you like it or not.
• They’ll take you into places that have “culture” as well a high chance of getting mugged.
• They will always bug you to be a test subject.
• Nothing can ever be naturally pretty, everything must be fixed in Photoshop.
• Bringing their camera means, bringing 50lbs of equipment.
• If you break any of their things on accident, you’ll owe them thousands of dollars.
• You can’t get them a birthday/Christmas present without spending at least $500
• They are natural hoarders, collecting and keeping piles of old newspapers, packaging, magazines, and other things that “inspire” them.
• They are weird and geeky.
• They have hard drives of photos, but probably have printed 10 images.
• They are always secretly judging your creativity.
• If you’re ever in auto mode, they laugh at you.

Maybe this will allow my family to better understand me, it's not my fault, it's all because I am a {PHOTOGRAPHER}  ;)
