I dont even want to be

a photographer. I have tried quitting, but i cant ignore beautiful light, or the way the clouds look, or an interesting person, who would be perfect for a photo. And sooner or later,I always pick my camera back up, and attempt to satisfy my hunger to take interesting photos. Is there a photoholics class available.

What would the 12-step program be like?

Photoholism surely has a analogous problem with the price of the glass.

Oh yes, life is hard... ;)

If you're a visually oriented person there's no cure for the urge to capture what you see. Try carrying a sketch book and pencils for sketching. After awhile you'll appreciate photography again.

Just be thankful you don't have EAS*, too.

This is like asking how to quit drugs in a crack house?

Ineffective.

Probably not necessary.

Maybe just do some volunteering at a local drug or alcohol rehab facility. Will provide some perspective on addiction and may help your own situation.

Wouldn't the number of steps ("stops") in the program depend on whether John shoots digital or film, color or B&W? :)

That's pretty good for you Nick, did you swallow a joke book?
