Several possible solutions in addition to the ones already suggested (i.e.,
negotiate "time off" or learn to live within restrictions).
1. Interest your spouse and/or significant other in your photography. Even
better, interest her in her own photography.
2. Teach her to value your photography.
a. Show her the value added from good photographs vs. P&S "record" snap
shots. If she can't see the difference,
b. Blow up good and bad shots to 8x10 or 11x14, ask some of her friends
to come over to see your vacation shots, then ask which they like.
Hopefully, in a large enough group of friends, they won't all be clueless.
3. Tell her that travel is an important time for you to take photographs. If
she is too selfish to be able to deal with this, tell her to get a life and
find another spouse and/or significant other.
4. Take separate vacations.
Good luck!
