    Pronounced Photog-holic. And yes, but only between "shots".

    I chose photography doesn't rule me. If I get in the mood, I am just like the next person, but I can go weeks and not pick up the camera, if I am not inspired to do so. Mostly my inspiration comes from within, for me, and I both enjoy having the camera in my hand, or with me, or just as much I like not having it, and thinking like a 'normal' person, rather than assessing everything to fit a nice rectangular shape

    Interesting that you compare yourself to a " normal " person. A classic case of self denial and dreaming that one day you may break your addiction. I can just see you now, in 8x10, your Gear all around you. Be strong Rick, stand up and just sing it to the world. " I am a PHOTOGHOLIC " .

    i choose everyday..not due to being a photogholic..but mainly due to having new gear and trying to get used to it.....I often fondle the body while watching TV ...just so I can get to grips with it when Im shooting for real .

    once I get it sussed ..I expect to wilt to once or twice a week..then back off to when needed or wanted.

    I find inspiration difficult and relish a job that needs shooting rather than trying to think of something myself

    At the moment, daily ( or almost). Varies with the seasons.
    Constructive critique of my photos is welcome and appreciated.

    I think about photography EVERY DAY! If I am not using the camera (which is only once or twice a week), I am reading up on the art of, or the techniques of photography. I do read alot, and (according to my hubby) the computer is my bestest friend. Loads of info to read up on! I a soooo addicted, its not funny!

    I do love to sew as well, but since obtaining my new camera, the poor sewing machine has got cobwebs allll over it.

    If you don't have a good partner, you better have a good hand!!

    I think you need to meet more of the opposite sex Peter.

    I take photos just about every day.
    If not for myself, then I take them for work.

    Even though I've been taking photos for work for many years, I still enjoy it, but I like taking photos for myself a lot more.

    However, I prefer to have sex than take photos.
    When my wife is exhausted, out comes the camera!
    All my photos are taken with recycled pixels.

    I have put down once or twice a week. But in saying that, there are 8 hobby photographers were I work, so every day is a gas bag on were our next trip will be. Or different styles of photography we want to try next, or which lens can be used for which application.
    Plus I visit this site multiple times a day. So photography is never far from the mind.
