RANDOM FACTS

I use way too many exclamation marks, but I'm really just that excited!!!! I want to know what moves your heart. I say "that's so funny" quite a bit, but it can mean a number of things. I am a lover of donuts and tea. I floss every night before bed! I love the idea of being spontaneous, but rarely do things unplanned. I am the youngest of four girls, but I'm taller than all my sisters. I would love to open a cafe someday. I am fascinated by the bridegroom God and his ravished heart for all of humanity

    50 Reasons not to Date a Photographer

    I came across this post today and laughed SO HARD!! Yes, most of these are true…

    They rather hold their bulky camera, than hold hands with you.
    On a romantic date, you’ll watch the sun go down and think “Wow this is gorgeous” and they’ll go “mirror lock, tripod, and stop down f/8 at 1/125.”
    You’ll never be able to enjoy tv, movies, or magazines because they’ll point out all the visual flaws.
    They like to sit in obscure coffee shop and voyeuristically watch people for great lengths of time.
    If you’re taking a walk outside and you come across some “interesting light” they will make you sit/stand/pose in public so that they can take a photo.
    You’ll never get to enjoy freshly cooked meals because they’ll spend 15 minutes taking 20 variations of the same dish with their iPhone.
    They get angry when your friends go up to them and say “I am interested in photography, can you recommend a good camera for me?  Nothing professional I just want to take pretty pictures.”
    You’ll wait longer for them to finish analyzing art in a museum than you’ll wait at the dmv
    Same goes with old used bookstores.
    When you think they’re giving you their undivided attention, they’re really wondering how they could fix you with a little Clone Tool and Patch Tool.
    Or they are actually using you to not look so creepy as they people watch everything going on around you.
    They rather drop $1,000+ on new glass than a purse for you.
    You can’t take a photo with them without taking at least five more.
    If you ask them if you look fat, they’ll say “don’t worry I can photoshop you later.”
    They’ll never photoshop something simple for you if the content is not up to their “standards.”
    That photo they randomly took of you yesterday?  Good luck getting them to send it to you.
    They can’t have a normal conversation with throwing acronyms and random numbers.
    They still use film cameras.
    They spend a lot of time with people cooler than you i.e. models, actors, musicians, successful rich people.
    They’ll be fussy over the position of a common household object, like a coffee cup.
    They won’t return your calls or text messages, but you can bet they’re still posting pics on Instagram.
    They like watching old films that you’ve never heard or will ever understand.
    They like looking at weird things in general.
    If there’s a natural disaster in a far away land, they’re already on a plane going over there.
    Everything is watermarked.
    They think everyone else’s photos suck.
    They want to color correct a lot of scenes from Twilight and Jersey Shore.
    They hate rainbows, especially ones spinning in a circle.
    Whenever you’re in a group talking and the conversation goes deep, they’re taking notes in some form of Moleskin.
    They use over priced Moleskin notebooks.
    They like trespassing into old abandoned buildings filled with health hazards.
    They always want to show a new photo they took, but don’t really care if you like it or not.
    They hate your n00bie friend’s new artsy profile picture.
    Bright, sunny days make them sad, but cloudy, overcast days are apparently great!
    They’ll take you into places that have “culture” as well a high chance of getting mugged.
    Your birthday present will be a portrait that they’ve taken of you.
    You can’t go anywhere new without them stopping to take a photo of everything and anything.
    They will always bug you to be a test subject.
    Nothing can ever be naturally pretty, everything must be fixed in Photoshop.
    Bringing their camera means, bringing 50lbs of equipment.
    If you break any of their things on accident, you’ll owe them thousands of dollars.
    You can’t get them a birthday/Christmas present without spending at least $500
    They are natural hoarders, collecting and keeping piles of old newspapers, packaging, magazines, and other things that “inspire” them.
    They are weird and geeky.
    They have hard drives of photos, but probably have printed 10 images.
    They are always secretly judging your creativity.
    If you’re ever in auto mode, they laugh at you.
