Some people are very obsessed with photography. We eat, sleep and work with it, and wherever we go, the camera comes with us. We could spend every waking moment on photography if we are not careful.
Yet all this seems fairly mild when you compare it with photographer Ravi Hongal from the Indian city of Belagum, Karnataka. Mr Hongal loves photography so much that he spent no less than 83,000 euros, converted, on building a camera-shaped house.
Ravi Hongal a #photographer from Belgaum in #Karnataka built a camera-shaped home. And that's not all, he has even named his three sons, #Canon, #Nikon and #Epson. Anything for the love of #photography!

The three-storey house has a lens, flash, film strip, memory card and viewfinder on its exterior. According to the stories, the rooms in the house are also completely camera-themed. The house is so bizarre that it has now become a tourist attraction in the city.
It is not just Ravi Hongal's house that is dedicated to photography, his three sons have also been given the names Canon, Nikon and Epson. Whether that was a good idea is debatable, since Canon and Nikon have always been rival brands. Luckily, his third son is called Epson, not Sony.
If you are ever told again that you are obsessed with photography, you can now show this video and say that in your case it is not too bad. It can always be worse.
