Why Do People Post Pictures Of Their Cameras?

[camera0bug]

Of all the boring photos to post...

This is beyond comprehension. Is there nothing going
on in someone's life that they have to take a picture of
their camera?

Of course if it looks like this:

That's different!

[clickaway]

Well, isn't our camera just an extension of us? Isn't it a biy like self-portrait?

Anyway, this guy's camera is not a Rebel I note...

[dazedgonebye]

Pride of ownership?
It's like their child and they want to show it off?
Look at mine, it's bigger than yours?

Where's that Freud guy when you need him?

Why do you live? For the next photo? The next sitting your fat butt down on the couch drinking six-packs, with a bong for medical reasons, watching San Antonio decimate Chicago? Or sex? You're going to die, so why not?

It is the blah-blah-bling. Yours is not better than anyone else's.

HUH?

I live for the next photo.. I like sitting next to someone else's fat butt on the couch and drinking out of their wine bottle - no glasses needed. San Antonio needs to step back from DETROIT.. (pistons rule <--- teenage moment) and sex? i've wanted to die WHILE having sex. Well, maybe not now.. i'm hoping to make it a few more years..

But I'm practicing..

That's right. Detroit, not Chicago. Those dirty, cold northern cities are all the same ...

[jude_53]

HEY!! I live in one of those..

wait a minute, I don't any more..

[noearlybird]

All I can say is you guys crack me up. The pistons are giving me such stress now. I've never taken a picture of any of my cameras. Kids however, well maybe a few.

Here you can not only see photos of all my cameras, but also of my lenses, flashes, accessories, and sold equipment.

I like it. Leave me alone!

I guess it beats exposing one's privates here....

[jude_53]

It does? hmmmmm

[pierresphotography]

Now at combined instigation I've decided to call my equipment gallery, "prostheses." Given the pompous topic of this thread and the general popularity of artificial paraphernalia of consciousness and unconsciousness.

One person’s boring is another’s fascinating. I am sorry that it is beyond your comprehension but such is life.

Just about everything is beyond Dan's comprehension, but does he care? No, because he can't comprehend it.

Huh?
