I saw this tread a while back and laughed for about half an hour. Let's revisit it shall we. I'll start it off

...If you can rattle off the correct color temp. of any light source known to man!
 
If you sit down for dinner and one hand reflexively grabs for the steering wheel.
If you can detect electrical outlets by smell.
 
when driving in your off time you wonder if you could get a live shot from there....

you know what department it is on the scanner by voice...

you can fix anything in the field with duct tape and a little hit here and there...
 
...If after having a few to many beers you have these meaninless "philosophical" discussions with fellow shooters saying stuff like "couldn't it also be called a blue balance??"
 
you leave your shoes at the end of your pants when you sleep.

the mayor and cheif of police know you by first name.

you only go to resteronts that you can see the car in the parking lot.
 
If while walking your dog you happen upon an outdoor presser and you look at the photogs first, speaker second, and journos last to see whom you recognize. (Happened to me alot here at the Capitol during Monica ... I lived down the street.)

Also - if public figures know you by sight (or as stated, by name,) but not your producer. I love that.
 
You know you're a photographer if...you can't attend a wedding or other event without making a judgement about the ability of the photographer or VJ hired to cover the event.

You know you're a photographer if...you can't see a sunset without for one moment thinking how you would frame it in the viewfinder.

You know you're a photographer if...you're on vacation and constantly avoid getting in peoples way as they take pictures or video...then again...any fugitive on the run does that!?!? ;o)
 
...when you have to debate whether it is appropriate or not to shoot T and A shots at a funeral.
 
...when you claim to be a professional then spell out words like "cheif" and "resteront".
 
...when you're telling a story to a friend it always begins with, "So I was shooting this story about..."
 
...when you're telling a story to a friend it always begins with, "So I was shooting this story about..." >>>>>>>>>>

Or worse..."So I was shooting this dead body..."

Cheers, Mi3ke
 
...if your friends are afraid to watch the news with you because everytime you see a flash frame you act as if you've been punched in the gut.
