Photo Essay

Ten Reasons why I LOVE my Digital Camera more than my Wife

My beloved!

This list started out as a private joke between a friend and I. We both love our cameras and getting out and shooting photos as often as we can. We do so at least once a week and would like to do more. The reason we can't get out more often, read the title and take a guess!

1. Hopefully, you already know most if not all of your limitations but a digital camera doesn't cast judgment on or harp on you about them.

2. Twenty years later and maybe a little worse for the wear, a digital camera will probably still look about the same as it did when you first laid eyes on it.

3. No matter how old she gets, you still can't wait to get your hands on her, "the camera that is."

4. You know you're going to need to accessorize both but, at least with a digital camera you have an idea how much it's going to run you.

5. Annual maintenance on a digital camera is far cheaper than the annual maintenance on a wife.

6. The digital camera doesn't fart, belch or talk back to you!

7. Your digital camera doesn't complain because you're spending too much time with your wife!

8. With a digital camera, it's a hell of a lot cheaper to upgrade to a newer model!

9. If you do upgrade to a newer model, the older one doesn't complain or cost you more money!

10. When a digital camera produces something you're not proud of, you can always delete it at any time you want. When your wife does, it will probably cost you your freedom and a whole lot of money in child support, alimony or both!

Bonus:

This one was suggested by a very dear friend who said: After many years of marriage, he can still get his arms around his camera!

    Ahh, yes. Thanks for setting me straight. I was almost gonna do something crazy. I think I'll just pony up for a new 5DII instead.
    Your wife doesn't read JPG, does she?
