Life is too short to allow a great hobby to inerfere with people's interactions one with another.

As far as love goes, I can't help you there. Only had one other girlfriend before I met my wife. She is very special, even if she does continually ask "Don't you have enough Joes?" Occasionally she rolls her eyes at me. But we have been married 10 years and have two boys, and my love for her is eternal.

We used to have a poster in a place where I worked: "People first, paper later." In your case, that could be revised to: "People first, dio later."

If given the choice of taking pictures or playing at the park with my sons or going on a date with my wife, well, that would explain a lack of many photos from me these days.

Hang in there, but never let obsession for that which is out of reach eat away your enjoyment of each new day. Each day is a gift, and we are not promised tomorrow, so we need to make the most of each day we are given.

Take care!
