Photography is an addiction, it’s like a drug that alters our state of mind and capturing a good photo is the ultimate high.

Sometimes we bend the rules and even break the law to get one, putting ourselves in harms way and feeling invincible when we do. Though one fix is never enough, we are constantly pushing the boundaries and looking for the next high.

Those with limited willpower will no doubt find themselves parting with hard earned cash to fuel their addiction, seeking either new far away and exotic places or believing new gear is the answer – this will only dig you deeper.

Often we are so blinded by our addiction that at times we can’t even see the forest for the trees. We push away loved ones that might stand in our way and sometimes even selfishly try to get them hooked.

Addicts will be all too familiar with the withdrawal symptoms should they be forced to abstain. If you’ve recently become aware of your addiction you may surprised to learn there is no cure… but please take little comfort knowing you are not alone.
