Why do they ask???

Why does everyone feel the need to ask if I prefer Nikon or Canon? Anyone else get this EVERY SINGLE TIME someone sees you taking a shot? I prefer... to thump them every so gently but enough to leave the Nikon emblem on their forehead. It's like asking Miller or Budweiser. Isn't it up to your taste buds? Sorry for the vent but I had 4 people ask me that in just a few hours. Maybe I should cut back on the coffee

Do you prefer Chevy or Ford?

Coke or Pepsi?

Ford 150, coke, and Nikon ftw!

Perfection would be adding some vanilla to that coke!

YES, someone else who enjoys the epicly awesome vanilla coke. I must travel by train to a large mall where they have a very big supermarket to get them. I usually don't buy bulk, just one when I pass by... you know, making it special

I got asked often.

What I did was to take black gaffer's tape and tape off any, I said any identifying markings on my camera and all my lenses. My D700 is unidentifiable to any but those in the know.

I no longer get asked silly questions.

Before anyone suggests Googling it:

Blondes, brunettes, or redheads ?

yeah, I don't mind them asking or making friendly conversation, I'm usually a nice guy, and typically have fun when I'm out shooting for work or pleasure...but the annoying part to me is when they have a different preference than you and sit there trying to convince you that their preference is more correct, like they need to validate themselves or something...

for me it's Chevy, Nikon, Coke...but I can respect and enjoy any vehicle that is built with skill and talent regardless of make, the same way I can enjoy a well done image regardless of what camera brand was used...
