Real-life drama at the beach ... Rammy's in trouble again ... apparently the wife doesn't like me taking pictures of other women

Amongst the ~200 photos I took last week at the beach, I snapped 3-4 pictures of some hotties that were walking up and down the beach. The wife took great offense to this and I thought it was playful at first but (as women are apt to do) an argument ensued which turned into her giving me the cold, silent treatment for the next 24 hours. She indicated I was "to take pictures of only her & the kids".
Disrespectful? Immature? In hindsight a little, but in her words "I'm married, I'm not dead". I wasn't peeping through a peephole at some ESPN hottie, I was taking a picture of someone strolling a few yards in front of me proudly displaying the goods that God gave her. Just how insecure can she be?
Is this a potential for a double standard? The wife had a massage at a day spa from a "young surfer dude" who was checking her out. Do I come out with the directive "no man can touch you except for me at any time". To take it to another level, shouldn't I be able to get lap dances (I don't btw) without feeling guilty. I agree that's extreme, but give me a break.
I thought things had cooled down the next day or two (makeup OTs) but then out of the blue the wife went through and deleted the pictures on my camera - which simply pissed me off. The following is all that's left. It was intended to be a humorous presentation to the lounge: (a) picture of hotties, (b) picture of wife holding up hand in front of camera, (c) picture of ocean as wife punched hubby in stomach.

Stepping back, I took ~200 pics. 100+ were of the kids, 25 of the kids & the wife, 10 of the wife, 25 of landscaping/beach pics, and 3-4 were of hotties. They're all just beach memories.
(Ray, I'll save you the trouble, no those numbers do not add up to 200 - I was providing rough estimates)
Mine pokes me in the side to show me the hottie that walked by and I missed because I was staring at a different hottie
And really? Professional help because she doesn't want her husband to take pics of random chicks while on a family vacation? Give me a break.

She controls what pictures you take. She controls when you have sex (hardly ever).
Of course it's a double standard.. She knows she can walk all over you.
I know this is overly blunt, but you need to read a book on assertiveness so you don't constantly get walked over. She is probably going to throw some tantrums at first, but she needs to learn that you are not her puppet.
At this point, just let it drop and be assertive during the next conflict.
