Do you hide your cameras from your wife?

[Curt]

Hiding is no basis for a relationship. What is she hiding from you?

Tell the truth and say you need it for baby portraits.

 

[fotch]

The only time I would hide a camera from my wife is when I want to take her picture. She is quite shy.

 

[StoneNYC]

If you buy that hassy and then call it your new baby she will probably break it/despise you/despise the hassy/put it somewhere unpleasant and show you what a real baby feels like... Haha

:scratches head: are the new artificial trees made of real wood now? LOL

No, they're definitely plastic. This one's going back to the store, too. Tiny victory!

Yay! You probably didn't mention the "this is a power trip" comment above haha

Hope you can get a real one.

We compromise by having two, one real, one fake, and one white and one colored.. Now that's compromise

If she's anything like my wife. When it comes in just put it on top of her pile of shoes......

 

[marenmcgowan]

I love my Hasselblad. I shot some of my favorite pics of my kids with it. Tell her square is the perfect geometric shape for documenting babies and children...

The dysfunctionality in this thread is incredible, even if I charitably assume 80% of you are trolling.

You got that right. Shitload of divorces waiting to happen in this group.

Get on the same financial page with your wife if you want to have any kind of marriage worth having.

If you want to know what this lot looks like in 20 years, have a look at the LFPF membership: same attitudes, less wives and more bitterness.

Aww, I suspect most of this was written very late at night, or when the other half was working.

Besides, anyone really getting their marriage advice from these posts will be looking for dating service soon.

Yikes, definitely selling my 4x5 now. Besides, I haven't used it in the last 8 months, so according to Sirius it has to go ...

 

[Ghostman]

Once she sees the beautiful pictures you take of mother and baby (gifts for grandparents) she'll forgive you

I think the Chinese have a proverb relating to that. Millennary wisdom.

Remember that you do not have to renew your contract. Life got better when I declared myself a free agent after 24 years of service.

I like Steve's "store it in the 8x10" solution though

My first post (#4) - Wow. That's a real problem, and it's nothing to do with cameras.

 

[naeroscatu]

My wife is really smart and she knows all my cameras. Now I want to buy my first Hasselblad which in no way looks like to anything I already have to tell her its the same. We live in a small apartment with no place to hide things and my baby is coming soon. She will be furious if I come home with a new camera... Any idea? Divorce is not an option.

Bad timing; building a camera system or a camera collection, whatever your pleasure is needs to happen at the right time for your family. I could only afford to buy the cameras that I wanted, including Hasselblad about the time when my daughter finished university and I was in the 28th year of marriage. If you have some cameras as you said, just use them to entertain your hobby and be patient. A certain brand of camera will not make you a better photographer, you know that right?

Fewer!


Steve.

 

[polyglot]

Fewer!

Heil!



though I could argue the toss - less would imply that they were all gone.

Can't a second-hand Hasselblad cost only a few hundreds Euro? Is there really any need to wait for 28 years? We don't know if photography exists in 28 years. Technologies like "virtual palpation" and "digital smell" will probably be all over the internet

A search a few seconds long:

http://www.ebay.it/itm/Hasselblad-5..._Analogiche_Medio_formato&hash=item20cdaee6d3 (auction with 0 offers, you never know until you make an offer, there are many like that).

http://www.ebay.it/itm/Hasselblad-5...21401?pt=Strumenti_ottici&hash=item337d484919

With some patience and "bargain hunting" I'm sure cheaper alternatives can be found.

Another thing worth doing is to count all of your cameras and compare it with the number of pairs of shoes she has!


Steve.

WARNING!!!!

DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!


I tried this - I pointed out to my moaning and complaining wife that she had as many pairs of shoes as I had cameras.

BIG MISTAKE. I am embarrassed that, as a married man of many years, I was so foolish.

My wife likes shoes. And clothes. And handbags. Shortly after I made the 'shoes' comment... I noticed the cupboard was bare. She had thrown nearly all of her shoes in the recycling bin. Everything except her works shoes and one or two pairs for best. Everything else.... dozens of pairs of boots at £80 and more a time, shoes that had never been worn. The whole lot - in the trash. For months it was 'I can't go to xxxxx - I haven't got any shoes to wear".

You see... I like OWNING cameras. Whereas my wife... she likes BUYING shoes. It's the shopping.... And I gave her the perfect excuse to dump the lot and start all over again.

Let this be a warning. Don't try to outsmart your wife. Don't make my mistake... just put up with the constant moaning. It is the way it is suppossed to be...

The fact that she threw away shoes that she bought and never wore is just a huge show of insanity, or nervous breakdown, or whatever, doubling the damage (unless she recovered them a moment later after the sad show) and would have deserved an infinite ban on shoe purchase, while your commendable habit of using the cameras you buy is just a testament of your sincere passion for photography, deserving the future discretionary useless unappreciated unused shoes family budget to be entirely diverted to useful actually-used sensible beautiful film technology.

But did she really did that? It's so nonsensical it's hard to believe. And to demonstrate what? If anything it demonstrates even more fully that she is the money waster.
