The Plague Spreads - news from other afflicted couples
Ξ July 13th, 2008 | → | ∇ Delinquent husbands |
I’ve been a bit delinquent in my posting this past week. Just a little busy with some other projects and the weddings for the summer. Plus someone has to wrestle those old clothes into the bags for Goodwill…
When I logged into the site this morning, I saw a comment from Kathy (one of our great friends from the wedding world of Southwestern PA). Sadly, her husband has been “infected”:
[Rich] is turning more and more into a photographer nut thanks in large part to your husband!
Ok, Kathy, you have to squash that bug before it gets too big. So here’s what you do. Smear a little Vaseline on his camera lens. Then whenever he takes a picture it will be all out of focus. After about 2000 blurry pictures, he’ll get disgusted and throw his camera gear out the window. Problem averted. Husband reclaimed.
Kathy’s wasn’t the only comment to the blog. Dawn, a videographer we just recently worked with, was looking for a kindred spirit to talk lighting, depth of field, and all things perspective and stumbled across the blog probably hoping that support could be garnered for her video camera addiction. Oh no! A mutant strain of the photo freak plague! No, Dawn, NO! Put down the video camera… You can do it…. Put it down and reclaim your life! You have friends and we’re here to help you through your withdrawal period… You can beat this!

Hey!
a. I read your blog. In fact, I showed it to Kathy.
b. I know how to clean a lens. There is nothing you can put on my lens that I can’t call an old lab buddy and get a solvent to remove.
c. The only thing placating my desire to own a D3 is my current ownership of a D50. I tell myself “a already have a good camera, I don’t really need the best SLR ever made.” If the D50 goes, something will need to fill the hole. Something with a shorter name and 10x the focus areas. Something that can use the lenses without Vaseline on them…

After our little rendezvous at Bride Show yesterday, I thought I’d stop in to your site and take a peak (ok, ok, I am a blog stalker)… but I never expected to see my name! HAHA! You are too much! My husband just said to me this evening… I can’t wait till January to have my wife back. So I promised to take the remainder of the evening off… at least until he went to bed 2 hours ago!
