Call me crazy, that's fine. but I named my camera Oliver. After Oliver Twist. I absolutely LOVE that musical. actually I love ALL musicals, but "Oliver!" is the one musical in which I grew up with.
So, in my descriptions, sometimes, I'll say "Oliver, did this when I wanted him to do that, and he was right..." I talk about him as if he was a person, just to clear the air, I'm NOT stealing some guy named Oliver's work.
But I will say, sometimes I do believe that Oliver is the real photographer, not me...
