Are there any Funny photographers on this Site I ask myself...

Do you have a funny photographuc story ? Or a Joke about photographers

If you have - then this is the place for you to test the water as they say - I will start the ball rolling.

I Have a Dream

I have a dream here today that every photographer on this site will have an image published.

Yes I have a dream no matter what the image - black or white or even coloured it will be published.

I have a dream that all photographers will be equal no matter what camera equipment they have - even Nikon users.. yes I know hard to swallow for some - But this must be the way.

For in this land of photographic Art we are all equal with one goal - As we lift our eyes towards the heavens and pray the curators will smile on us - Yes we all have a Dream

-------------------------

What about Sony ? that is so big to swallow.

I need four new lens -- that was easy..

I suspect this one applies to 1x! Which 'funny' photographer are you? See them all here: https://petapixel.com/2019/10/22/brutally-honest-caricatures-of-typical-male-and-female-photographers/

I don't fit any I'm sort of left over from. Bygone age....

Bald, more seasoned, without bottle... Summer outfit is this... SRL is always a Nikon... I can recognize myself, a few years ago... :)

Best regards to all.

This is Pansy, proudly posing with her new Pentax K-9.  

Steven,

excellent and lovely portrait -and little dog -... Pansy looks convinced in her new role, and as well looks right at your lens.

Best regards,

Francesco

Thank you Daniel for launching this great idea. This is the opportunity to show many interesting  things here, which we no longer see in the portfolios, since they are subject to the constraint of curation.

To be continued ...

Ah, it works again, Danny?

Danny,  great cartoon - funny because it's true!  Thanks for sharing. 

Mike,  did you mean the 'Attach Photo' button?  It seemed to be offline for a few days.  One more small bug I guess.

Anyway, I found another photo to post  . . . . .  'Post Processing'

The Emporers New Clothes - Taken in Istanbul ages ago :-)

Brilliant, Mike!   "Oh, how fine are the Emperor's new clothes! Don't they fit him to perfection? And see his long train!"

Almost 200 years since Hans Christian Andersen wrote that fable - and it's as meaningful as ever. 

Here is a funny little improvised photoshoot in my kitchen. My lovely model is posing nude, but sorry she didn't shave!

A small jumping spider descended from the ceiling on its wire, and landed on a pan lid.

These small spiders (5 mm) have a very observant behavior, and a very developed sight. Here we can see it discovering its own reflection on the stainless steel surface of the lid. She was very cooperative.

A gift fallen from the sky for a photographer!

Excellent work, Mike...

The Rabbit & The Snake

A blind rabbit and a blind snake where moving through the jungle when they bumped into each other “ who are you”  said the rabbit and at the same time “ who are you “ said the snake. Both said they were blind and did not know that they were.

So, the snake said let me feel you all over and I will tell you what you are and you can do the same for me. Ok said the rabbit - so the snake started to feel all over the rabbit “covered in fur - big long ears - buck teeth and bob tail “You’re a Rabbit. So the rabbit jumped with glee “I’m A Rabbit “

 Now you do the same for me said the snake – So the rabbit move it to feel the body of the snake “ You are some kind of powerful reptile that may have squeezed the life out of many photographers causing them a lot of pain – “ You are a head curator for 1x.com “ Hee Hee

If this happens in macro, let alone the reactions in street photography...

Maybe off topic...

Best regards to all,

Francesco

No, not off topic at all.  In fact, right on topic in my opinion.  I think as humans we like to collect points.  We're a competitive species. 

Here's a cartoon by Joe Dator from The New Yorker . . . . .

Thank you very much, Steven. Have a nice day.

Best regards, Francesco

😄 This is sooo cool!

Francesco, 

High marks for originality!   It made me smile.  It's a reminder that we shouldn't take this Curation business too seriously. 

Steven

You're driving downhill backwards, Francesco? Brave man! :-)

Let me show people a rather amusing image of me taken a few years ago in Barsana, India during the Lathmar Holi celebrations.

I'm happy to report that both I and my photo gear survived the visit, but not much else did...  :)   It took several months of cleaning before the last trace of the brightly coloured gulal powder final was gone from my glasses.

Maybe, Peter... :-) A bit of fortune never hurts...

I've never dared so much, Mike ! :-))

Two Nikon users went down in a diving bell on the Titanic and were amazing to find the swimming pool still full of water... Hee Hee

Who was the other Nikon user, Daniel? :-))

Flies in a pint

A Canon user, a Sony user and a Nikon user wander into a little old pub in London. They each ask the barman for a pint of Beer. After the pints are placed onto the bar, three bluebottles drop into each man’s freshly poured pint.

The Canon user pushes his pint away in disgust and orders up another. The Sony user reaches in and plucks the fly out.

The Nikon user reaches in, picks the fly out, holds it up close to his face and shouts, “Spit it out you little bas..td.”  Hee Hee

Good one, Daniel!  I suppose one could repeat it with the brands switched around?  

Here's a happy photo . . . . .   'Good Morning'

Ordering a pint

Can I have a pint of Beer and a packet of crisps Please...

‘Oh. You must be a Nikon user she replied. The man was evidently offended and responded, ‘The cheek, just because I order a pint of Beer you assume I’m a Nikon user -  If I ordered a bowl of pasta would you that make me Italian?!’

‘No’ she replied. ‘But this is a newsagents…’ 

Daniel,
I once confused a newsstand with a tobacco store, but I wasn't a Nikon user yet... :-))

If that happened in Italy, dear Francesco, where newsstands don't sell tobacco unless there is a big "Tabaccheria" sign outside, I'm a bit worried. :-)

A sobbing Nikon user called Mary approaches The Priest after mass one Sunday morning.

He says: “So what’s bothering you Mary?”

She replies: “Oh, Father, I’ve terrible news. My husband passed away last night.”

The priest says: “Oh, Mary, that’s terrible. Did he have any last requests?”

Dear Mike,

for some years now in Italy newsagents are also found inside small stores, as it has always been for Tabaccherie. That time, due to distraction, I mistook the wrong entrance, they were next to each other... I asked the newsagent if he had matches...  :-)

Dear Daniel,

are all these jokes found in Photo Professional? :-))

An Nikon user is struggling to find a parking space.

"Lord," he prayed. "I can't stand this. If you open a space up for me, I swear I'll give up the Drinking and go to mass every Sunday."

Suddenly, the clouds part and the sun shines on an empty parking spot.

Without hesitation, the Nikon user says: "Never mind, I found one!"

To redress the balance for poor Nikon owners, here is an article about what your cameras says about you... read it over at Shutterfinger as the text here is displayed dark for some unknown reason.

What Your Choice of Camera Says About You

Hi Peter,

There is the "Clear Formatting" Button "Tx" in the menu that removes HTML-formatting when copying text from the internet somewhere :-)

Cheers, Mike, I learn something evryday!

When we were in Tallinn, I just put my girlfriend on this spot and shot her. She did not recognize what I had in mind. She hates the photo, I love it... With all our gear we really look like bugs always :-)

Best regards to all,

Francesco

Take the first wildlife photographers of Richard and Cherry Kearton. Back in the 19th century, they had no long telephoto lenses, motor drives or auto focus technology. So they built fake animals to get closer to their subjects. Richard even fainted whilst in his fake cow. His brother took an hour to find him, then took a few minutes longer to take his picture before finally rescuing him.

Like I said, photographers are afunny bunch...

This is adorable - great photos and so sweet! 

Hi Daniel!

You have amazing portraits. I remember them.

But these other works depicting vampires and other terrible-looking people?

Do you really think this is funny?

Is this such new English humor?

I assume that you will answer me.

And this is very sad ...

Vladimir hello there I'm a collector of strange and wondefful people images - I can get some published but not awarded - I don't think people in EU understand English Dress-up things Like the Gothic Weekend at Whitby where most of the images ar taken. I just love fun images like these...

WGT in Leipzig, I'd consider that EU, Danny - as opposed to UK now, haha!

An undocumented side effect, Daniel... :))

Every night, an Nikon user walks into a bar and orders three shots of whiskey. 

He downs each shot, pays the barman, and leaves.
The bartender eventually asks him why he always drinks exactly three shots.
“It’s one for me and one for each of my brothers,” he tells the bartender. “One is in America and the other is in Australia, and we do this to feel like we’re all still drinking together.”

A month later the Nikon user only orders two shots of whiskey.
“Oh no,” says the barman. “I’m sorry for your loss. Was it the one in America or Australia?”

“What?” The Nikon user looks puzzled, then glances at the whiskey glasses. No, it’s nothin’ like that. It’s just that I’ve decided to stop drinking.”

Sorry, has changed...

Best regards to all,

Francesco

• A Nikon user went to the Doctor today. and said “do you treat alcoholics”, The Dr replied, “of course we do”………The Nikon user said “great get your coat on, I’m skint

• Barman says to Nikon user - Your glass is empty, fancy another one?” lookin’ puzzled the Nikon user says “Why know would I be needed two empty glasses?”

Have you heard about the Nikon user who thought - Reciprocity Failure was a heart condition...

I have a dream... Maybe in an upcoming delta version.

Best regards to all, even to the future 'terminated'... :))
