Am i the only one that has a massive Phobia of people touching/using my camera. I think it might be serious!

I can't help getting a little nervous if we're outside in the snow

They can all fondle the t2i if they so please. They like trying to be photographers too which is funny. The HPX is kind of off limits and they know it.

This one time we were at a spot and a friend with a broken collar bone was there to watch. The spot was rather large so we needed like four people to pull bungee so I had to have the kid hit record on the HPX. Long story short the rider landed the trick and i went down to check the shot and there.......was no shot.

i let anybody touch my shit, i really don't care. but if they break it they buy me a new one/pay me the original cost, depends how mad i am. and if they don't agree, then they can stay the fuck away from my cameras.

i once had a gaper snowboarder pick up my camera bag thinking it was his backpack (i was way downhill), and then he just said 'wait this isn't mine' and i had to watch helplessly as he dropped my bag from like 4 feet up. when i retrieved it, the viewfinder had snapped off my camera (way back when i had a VX), and the gaper was long gone.
