41 REASONS "TO" DATE A PHOTOGRAPHER

Here are the 41 reasons why you should seriously consider dating a photographer.

1. YOU’LL NEVER MISS A MOMENT

Even if your photographer companion is not paying attention to something interesting, it’s not a problem. There’s always a high end camera around waiting to capture the moment.

2. BUYING A CHRISTMAS OR BIRTHDAY PRESENT GETS A LOT EASIER

It’s very simple really. All you have to do is get something related to photography, within your budget. It’ll do the trick every time. Just make sure not to get the same filter twice.

3. THEY UNDERSTAND FINESSE

That’s because their gear is probably worth more than your car so, yes, they know how to take care of precious merchandise.

4. THEY FIND BEAUTY ALL AROUND

They even see it where you don’t, and then help you see it. Abandoned buildings and rainy days on the beach for instance. A world of new beauty is about to unfold when dating a photographer.

5. YOUR DIET WILL NO LONGER BE A BIG ISSUE

Not to worry if you put on a little extra weight. Your partner will probably Photoshop it out later.

6. YOU WILL MISS NO MEMORIES

Virtually every important (and not important) moment of your life will be documented.

7. YOU WON’T MISS ANOTHER SUNSET OR SUNRISE

That’s because the photographer you’re dating will probably set the alarm clock at insane hours just to make sure you don’t miss it and he’ll be up to take a good photo.

8. YOU’LL SMILE MORE OFTEN

It’s in their job description to know how to make people smile.

9. YOU’LL ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT THINGS OTHER THAN SPORTS

Photographers have a tendency to be well read and you’ll probably have a lot to talk about.

10. PROPORTIONS WILL BE REVERSED

The small things will look large and vice versa.

11. YOU’LL KNOW WHAT GOOD LIGHT LOOKS LIKE

That’s because it’s the most essential thing in their work.

12. THEY’LL HELP YOU SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY

That’s because they’re trained to always look for different perspectives. Naturally, you’ll be the one they’ll share them with.

13. THEY KNOW HOW TO MOVE IN THE DARK.

Comments are useless on this one.

14. THEY PROBABLY WON’T HANG OUT IN BARS A LOT

Ironically, most of a photographer’s time is spent in front of a computer, so going out for a beer with friends will probably involve you as well. There just isn’t time to do everything separately.

15. THEY HAVE A NATURAL INSTINCT FOR CHARGED BATTERIES

Even if you forget to charge something ordinary, like your phone, your date will probably remember that for you. It’s in a photographer’s blood to have full energy at all times.

16. THEY KNOW HOW TO PUSH THE RIGHT “BUTTONS”

They’re technical training also applies in less expected areas.

17. THEY PAY EXCESSIVE ATTENTION TO DETAILS

Remember your ex-girlfriends or boyfriends who never paid attention to details? Well, dating a photographer will be the exact opposite. Photographers rarely miss anything, especially if it’s something visual.

18. CREATIVITY

There shouldn’t be much to say, but let’s dig deeper. We are all creative creatures. Even you accountants. Photographers, like artists in general, live to create. Just don’t expect that creativity to be limited to taking photographs. It often takes unusual forms. Like that of playing with food when dining with your parents.

19. SOME OF THEM ARE ROCK STARS

If you’re dating the right photographer, he’s the one with 20k likes on Facebook and the constantly ringing phone. You’ll almost feel like a groupie on tour.

20. THEY ARE VERY SOCIAL

Photographers are usually very socially active. Partially because it’s in their nature, but also because they have to. Some of the best collaborations are with close people.

21. YOUR SALES ON EBAY WILL SKYROCKET

Anything you sell on Ebay will look a lot better.

22. THEY DO WHAT THEY LOVE FOR A LIVING

Besides making you envious, take a moment to appreciate this fortune. Doing the thing you love and eliminating material insecurity usually turns you into a better person. That’s why photographers are so lucky and that’s probably why so many people want to start doing it. Word of advice to them, it’s not as easy as it looks!

23. THEY KNOW WHEN SOMETHING IS IMPORTANT

That’s because they know how to focus on a single subject without getting distracted by outside elements.

24. YOUR CURVES WILL BE LOVED

Your photographer partner will love your curves. So much, he might in fact ask you to pose nude for him.

25. YOU’LL NEVER GO ON VACATION TO AN UGLY PLACE

They’ll only pic the most photogenic dreamlands. Of course, for some of them, the dreamland might be Chernobyl.

26. YOUR SKIN WILL FIND PERFECTION

Never again will you have another pimple in a photo.

27. YOU’LL BE THE TOP MODEL

Even if your photographer boyfriend or girlfriend works with high end models, you’ll always be the favorite.

28. YOU’LL HAVE TIME FOR YOURSELF WHENEVER YOU FEEL LIKE IT.

Just say the magic words: “Could you please photograph that thing I told you about?”

29. YOU’LL WIN ARGUMENTS OVER TRAVEL DESTINATIONS MORE EASILY

All you have to do is point out what a great setting it would make for a photo-shoot.

30. THEY’LL LOVE YOUR FACE EVEN IN THE MORNING WHEN YOU’RE JUST WAKING UP

They’ll also probably try and photograph it.

31. YOUR FACEBOOK PROFILE WILL ALWAYS LOOK FRESH AND INTERESTING

You might even find yourself in trouble choosing the cooler profile pic.

32. YOUR WORD WILL ALWAYS MATTER

Especially if it’s something good about their latest work.

33. YOU’LL NEVER GET BORED

It’s hard to be bored around a photographer. Even when they’re not shooting, they’re bound to be doing something interesting or to be hanging out with interesting people.

34. THEIR FRIENDS ARE INTERESTING AS WELL

You won’t see many photographers hanging out with bankers, unless they’re childhood friends. In most cases, their entourage consists of cool, creative people.

35. THEIR MUSICAL TASTE IS USUALLY IMPECCABLE

Trust me on this one. The better the photographer, the better the music he listens to.

36. IN CASE THE PHOTOGRAPHER FROM YOUR FAMILY EVENT SCREWS UP, YOU HAVE BACKUP

Even if your cousin already has a photographer for her wedding, the second one, your partner will be there, for free, snapping around for the fun of it. Or because he can’t help himself. Either way, the photos are covered.

37. THEY KNOW ABOUT FASHION

Not all of them do, but a lot of photographers are very fashion aware.

38. THEY’RE USED TO CARRYING HEAVY LOADS

If you try and pick up a photographer’s bag, chances are you won’t be able to, or you’ll at least have a back ache in the morning.

39. YOU’LL WATCH A LOT OF MOVIES TOGETHER

Photographers love movies, especially classic ones. Not just because they’re good, but because they have a lot to learn from them.

40. THEY GIVE GREAT TECHNICAL ADVICE.

Especially if one of your friends is planning to buy a new camera.

41. THEY ENJOY BEING AROUND PEOPLE

Even those who didn’t grow up as the most socially successful people, change because of photography. It’s the kind of occupation that gives birth to great relationships and connections in the community.

How To Teach A Rapist And More.

Okay before telling you all that what can be the perfect cure for rapists, I want to express few things.

First of all, I feel pity on states other than Delhi. They call Delhi the Rape Capital or Rape City. they highlight each and every case in Delhi, it is a good thing, this is what media is supposed to do, this is what people should do, show their rage against such crime, not a bad thing. But what I see is that for people and media only Delhi is important now, I have been reading a lot of small news, well small news about rapes outside Delhi, small news because nobody gave a FUCK about them (pardon my language). Are rapists in Punjab or Haryana or Mumbai or Tamil-Nadu less guilty than Rapists in Delhi? I feel pity on those victims who weren't heard, who weren't cared about because they weren't raped in Delhi.

Now everybody is asking for capital punishment, I am not, I am against capital punishment. Sorry people but I actually don't want those rapists to be hanged or killed. For the crime they have done, DEATH is not ENOUGH. If you'll kill them people will forget about them in few days. Also there is capital punishment for Murders, still people kill, therefore I seriously think that no strict law can ever stop this crime.

IF NOT CAPITAL PUNISHMENT THEN WHAT???

Well there is a process called CASTRATION( To remove the testicles of (a male); geld or emasculate.)
Well I am very much in favor of this punishment. I want all these rapists to be CASTRATED and left alive, with RAPIST tattoed on their foreheads for the rest of their lives. I don't want them to die, death is not enough, they should live in the society, they should feel the humiliation, they should feel the pain, they should suffer for the rest of their life. They should be begging for death but they shouldn't die. When they will suffer every second of the rest of their life, they will become an example for the society. That may help in controlling this crime. But this cant be stopped like this.

Everyone blames Rapists, call them sick and wish they were dead, But no one thinks about why he did that. Most morons will say that the girls wear revealing clothes and provoke men to do such crimes, and I wish these morons burn in hell too. We live in a country where we all are the players of 'Blame Game'. People blame society, society blame Government and so on. But who is actually to be blamed?

Don't blame anyone, blaming never changed anything, working did and let me tell you, to change things, to end these things, it will take years and maybe generations. People should learn to respect women. It has been happening from last many generations where girls are unwanted, girls are supposed to be a liability. She is taught that she has to first serve her father, then her husband, that she cannot do a lot of things because she is weak, because a MAN is SUPERIOR to her. On the other hand, a boy is the one who will carry forward the Name of his father. A boy is given all the freedom, he is given everything, and that boy notices everything, that how his mother and sister is supposed to be following his father. These things motivate the boys to take advantage of things, little things, and slowly and gradually someday they become so proud that they become evil. Only a little trigger, maybe drugs, maybe alcohol and maybe to prove their 'Mardanagi' they will do anything, they'll rape , they'll beat they'll even kill women.

Now whom will you blame??? Delhi??? Men??? Police??? Government??? Women??? or System???

I know you will blame someone, because we are Indians we blame things we dont change things.

Rape Me...

I live in a city which is called the Rape Capital of the country. In-fact it is the capital of India. Ten rape cases in last one month, its a shame. And yesterday, saw the news that a 17 year old girl is gang-raped by 5 boys from same locality in Noida. The girl was a minor and was willingly drinking Vodka in birthday celebration of one of the convicts. Even more shocking news was this that the victim claims that she was raped earlier also by the same boy last year. Last year in Mumbai there was a case when a girl was continuously raped by her own father for years because some Tantrik told him that by doing so he will earn heavy profits in business, she went to police when her father tried to rape her younger sister too. Now in both of these cases there is one similarity, in both the cases victim didn't complained at first, which in turn encouraged the rapist to commit the crime again.

If we look at the stats, India stands third, in World when it comes to rape cases. Ahead of India are only the United States and South Africa. According to the data, 18,359 rape cases were registered in India in the first three quarters of this year while in the US, 93,934 and in South Africa 54,926 rape cases were registered respectively. total 44,159 cases of different sex offenses were registered across India in the said period.


Now all this makes me sad. Everyone knows that there is something wrong, but what is wrong? People in other states and cities call Delhi the capital of Rape, but does that makes their city rape-free? Everyone plays the blame-game. We all know that this crime is not normal, rape is not only a physical crime, it is sexual, psychological and social crime. Victim goes in depression and sometimes never recovers. Also victim is mostly afraid of going to police, or face the society. And our society, It punishes the victim more than the rapist. Women will blame men for this kind of crime and they should be blamed. It is our society which teaches us that women are man's property, that man is superior to women, that a man is not man enough if he cannot control his women. Law states that men and women are equal, but law of society are different. A girl child is killed before she is born, if not then she lives a life under the thumb of his father. She is taught that she will always need a 'man' to protect her, and later a 'man' rapes her or beats her or molests her. Still she wont raise her voice against her husband or father or brother or any man, because if she will, then how will she survive in this society?

I just wanna tell all the women that they are equal to men. Men are in no ways superior to them. Also women should know their rights, because she may be physically not as strong as a man but she has got more rights than a man. Ladies, there are few twisted freaks out there, but you have your rigts and you are not alone, just make sure you don't do anything which gives them any chance to harm you, like that minor girl was consuming alcohol with 5 drunk boys. The day all you women will realize that you are not weak, no man will dare touch you.
