Hello, I am a noobie. I too have am a photoaholic. In fact, I came across this thread and could only read the first few pages because I dont have time to read 94 friggin pages because I'll have camera withdrawls if I do.

I have been called a "Momma-ratzi" by my family. Sometimes when I pick up my camera and point it towards a loved one, they grimmace & turn away, disgusted by my addiction. (hanging head in shame) Other times they yell for me to grab my camera "Hurry, you have to get a picture of this!" Its a sickening mind game I tell you!

My youngest daughter has also been infected by this addiction. She is 15 and she takes a sickly amount of photos of.....herself! Its a strange mutation of the addiction has anyone ever heard of this?

What can I do?

I have heard of this. It is not as rare of a disease as you might think. It is called young-girl-self-photo-captureinism. She is bound to have a life of pictures and odd poses. She is doomed, there is no help for her.. :lmao:
And as for you my new friend. Well may the batteries never run dead and your card never get full, because you also are beyond help!:lmao::lmao: :lol:

1)I cant believe what I have created in my child. It definately sounds like what she has. (I feel dizzy)

2) I wish your wish for batteries never running dead had come a wee bit sooner...I was at the park earlier today chasing butterflies around like a 3 year old (only with my camera, not a jar with alcohol soaked cotton balls) and after about 1 hour my batteries went dead! I got enough of a "fix" though to get me through. (shudder, shudder, tick, tick)

3) You say I'm beyond help, you know me all ready! :mrgreen:

Film is your only hope....

,

The hard stuff has the biggest highs.....My batteries can last upwards of a year

Changing a roll of film at a dead run is an exillerating thing too :drunk:

monkeykoder · Sep 2, 2008

Hells yes film is the only way to go for the real high.

BlueEyes01 · Sep 2, 2008

I've done film, I've done digital, I just moved from one obsession to the next. I have to say, Digital has allowed me to take a million more photos than I would have taken before!
I snap snap snap until my finger cramps up. Really its quite pathetic. (sigh) Next thing you know I'll be on that cable show "Intervention"....
