->> As a homebrewer, there's a list floating around, "You might be a homebrewer if...." with wisdom like, "if you've ever used a mop on the ceiling."
I got an email today from Sam Adams brewery, one of the things they linked to was a video of their newest beer, Utopia 2011. Short story is, it's a beer with 25% alcohol, very limited $$$ sales.
Anyhoo, I was watching this video they had to introduce it and the video was shot in gorgeous slow mo. The first thing I thought was, you might a photographer if you watch a video about beer and the first thing you wonder is which high speed video camera was used to shoot the video piece.

->> 1. Gelatin is kept in a book NOT in the frig.
2. The brown stains are just now fading from your fingertips.
3. When a cop asks you to count backwards and you say 22 16 11 8 5.6 ....... and are sober......
4. You have a bright un-tanned stripe across the back of your neck.
5. You know 20 'funny' uses for 510v batteries that are 'dead'.
6. Gaffing tape is a fashion accessory. |

->> 1. You evaluate the natural lighting in every place you go based on shooting a portrait.
2. You are somewhere without a camera and wish you had one to make "just one
or two" pictures you "see".
3. You use your ThinkTank waistbags for more than camera lenses.
4. You own many more cameras bags that cameras, but each has its own distinct use. |

->> I had only been a member for three months when that thread was posted, and my favorite was the bit about camera gear being worth more than the photographer's car.
I have a lens that is worth more than my car, and I am sure that I am not alone in this! |

You justify an iPad because "you know, I MAY need it for my photography"
