Where is the picnic basket, Boo Boo?

Robert Hawthorne is a wildlife photographer that has an interest in bears. He was wandering around the Katmai National Park in Alaska and saw two fisherman standing in a river talking to each other waiting for the fish to bite. They did not hear a very large bear come up behind them to see if they had any fish it could eat. “Knowing from experience there wasn’t a threat in how it was playing out, I had time to take a photo before letting this guy know that he had a bear behind him,” he says. “And believe it or not, his reaction was simply [that he] looked over his shoulder and continued fishing.”

A group of artists were invited to a reception where a very famous chef was preparing the dinner. When the chef met a very well known,  award winning photographer he commented: “I love your photo’s, they are wonderful, you must have a very expensive camera.” The photographer did not reply and walked on into the hall. After the dinner the photographer tells the chef and says, “Dinner was sensational, great flavors and choices, a true work of art. You must have a very talented stove.”

St. Peter and Lucifer were at the gates admiring the clouds when the subject got onto photography. They couldn’t agree whether Heaven or Hell had the best photographers, so they decided to arrange a photo contest. St Peter rubbed his hands with glee and Lucifer demanded to know why he was looking so smug. “Well,” said St Peter, “in Heaven we have all the best photographers.” Lucifer slowly raised his head, grinned and replied “Ah, but we have all the judges…”

Did you hear that the Post Office has just recalled their latest political stamps? Well, they had photos of politicians on them and people were spitting on the wrong side of the stamp.

I had to give up my career as a photographer. I kept losing my focus.
