[QUOTE="Phillydog1958, post: 328563, member: 8704"] I found it to be humorous and satirical. I also think that there is overlap. I don't think it's as cut and dry as the article states. We all probably have SOME of those characteristics. I posted this because I've met several photographers over the past few weeks, while I was in the field. One particular gentleman comes to mind. I just met him a few days ago. He and I were shooting birds. We started chatting and eventually exchanged emails. The conversation went on for almost an hour. We plan on shooting together eventually. Basically, I found a new shooting buddy. The gentleman is a few years my senior, but he's been shooting forever. He shoots nothing but birds and promised to take me to several spots where bald eagles nest. I found him to be a mixture of the 6 types, but he was non-abrasive and just an all-around, nice guy. He was a Canon supporter:D. We talked about gear, places that we like to visit for birding, etc . . . I just want to learn more and he's full of knowledge. Whenever i meet another shooter in the field, it's usually a pleasure. That's why WE come to this forum -- Camaraderie is sought out! [/QUOTE]
