I don't have any photos of my cameras. I guess I missed the memo. There are scores of threads over of RFF where people post photos of their cameras. Mostly Leicas, but sometimes other cameras posed next to a cup of coffee. Probably taken with a phone. Like I said, I don't understand why people take and post pictures of their cameras, especially if they are just run of the mill cameras like Nikons and Leicas.

You may not have noticed, but this is not RFF nor LFPF either.
...and here's a photo of a Leica all by it's lonely - also taken with an iPhone.
Is it the beverage or the camera that troubles you?

Because it is no longer considered prudent to post photos of their (grand)kids
.
Sort of makes you wonder if they carry photos of their cameras around in their wallets.
The horror, the HORROR!
(this one was taken with a Nikon F2).

Yes, I've found that puzzling. This is a photography forum, yet very few posts include photos. There are many other hobby forums I participate in that are unrelated to photography, yet the users of those forums include far more photos in their posts than here. Go figure...
It is not so much a sin as it is inexplicable. I am interested in the psychology of it.
I can understand it if you had to submit photos of your cameras to an insurance company to get coverage or to file a claim. And I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say those never ready cases came with the cameras.

Only when they can't have their cameras at their side.
By the way, my Photrio avatar is me holding my Retinette 1B
I found all of those cameras in the land of unloved toys.
I took the photo as part of the effort to find them new homes - where they might be loved or, at least, used occasionally.
I'm happy to report that I was successful in that effort - all fund new homes.
Many were given to enthusiastic college students. Some were sold for parts or repair.
I took the photo of the Barnack Leica with a beer in a cafe to capture a memory.
To remind me of a pleasant day spent walking around the city, taking pictures and enjoying a new-to-me cafe.
The photo of the Leica M4-P was taken to use in a for-sale ad. It has been sold and now.
I have to photo to remind me of that expensive, horrid little nightmare (the camera not the sale).

No, it mystifies me that you would take a photo of your Leica next to a beer and post it. It's not even a German beer.
Perhaps not even beer! It could be 2nd had beer though
Nikkormat FTN and Canon F-1n, for the win!
I'll give you partial credit since it is not a Nikon F2, but at least we now have a photo of a Canon F1.
There is Instagram of that stuff.
WTF!!! I thought everyone carried photos of their cameras in their wallets!! Am I the only one?
I prefer Nikon.
I prefer a smaller camera, but will admit that those big Nikons with motor drives and battery packs will elicit a lot of ooos and aaahs at camera club. I do not belong to a camera club, so I have no need for them.
