The quickest way to make money at photography is to sell your camera.
Two photographers walking along a street and they pass a beggar sitting with his hat up-ended on the pavement, begging for money. One guy keeps walking. The other stops. Later when they catch up with each other the first guy says to the other. “Hey I saw you stop for that beggar. What did you give him?””Oh” says the first guy, “1/125th at f5.6″
“A group of artists are invited for dinner by a famous chef.
In greeting the photographer, the chef comments:
“I love your photos, they’re wonderful, you must have a very expensive camera”…the photographer doesn’t reply and walks into the dining room.
After dinner the photographer approaches the chef and says:
“Dinner was sensational, very exquisite flavours, a true work of art,
you must have a very sophisticated stove.”
If an old man asks a young girl for a date…
That’s his business.
If the young girl accepts…
That’s her business.
If the old man and the girl decide to marry…
That’s their business.
However, if they want great wedding photographs…
THAT’S MY BUSINESS!!!
You know when you are a photographer when….
You look at a desk full of tax returns and wonder how you could photograph the stack.
You’re somewhat troubled by the fact that you don’t know how to calculate the shutter speed of your eyes when you blink.
The sign “no flash photography” means nothing to you and makes you laugh, because YOU don’t need a flash.
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.
You pity, and judge, members of the public when you see them using their big, fancy DSLR in… automatic…
You’d rather buy the shirt that more closely resembles 18% grey.
You describe disgusting old dilapidated barns as “beautiful”.
Hope you like…….and have a great day…
