There are some things you just shouldn't tell people about yourself. My brother, for example, once went to a party just after he got his PhD in chemistry and was very pleased to be introduced to someone as "Doctor", he was less than delighted when the lady in question decided that he needed to know all about her medical history - rather than allowing him to perform an intimate examination nudge... nudge...
Anyway back to the point. Don't tell people you're a photographer - they automatically seem to assume one of two things.
The first is that you take "glamour" pix and can introduce them to models who like to get their bits out for the lads, and its really really hard to explain to that sort of person that you prefer high class erotica (you know the sort of stuff - implied nudity, careful composition with strategically placed shadow, fetishwear etc. etc.) than page three porn.
The second thing that they then assume is that you will be interested in the postage stamp sized low quality image of something vaguely humanoid that they have taken with their camera phone and they then proceed to tell you all about how difficult it is to get good images. My advice if you want good photos is to get a camera or even better pay me hugh sums of money (attitude related scale of fees of course) to take some really decent shots.
p.s. Still nothing arrived from wish list, what's wrong with the postal system in this country?
