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.

That's why you spend so much time dating and learning about the other person before getting into a committed relationship. If there are enough differences then you walk away before it gets too serious.
At this point, just let it drop and be assertive during the next conflict.
This isn't (I don't think so) an issue about control.
Lounge > wife.
Your last comment is very telling.. Do you think the man needs to be totally submissive for a marriage to work? I don't. I also don't think the woman should be submissive either.
These "other women" were just people walking on the beach. How is that different than taking pictures of a seagull?
If you don't get how taking pictures of women is different from birds, you're an idiot.
And if I really have to explain to you the difference between a seagull and a woman, then you simply need more help than I can provide.

Massages is spelled with an "a", I was just making fun of you for making a spelling mistake.

He was sitting on the beach taking photos of people walking by.
God, some people are acting as if he was composing a homemade "girls gone wild" video.
If he took pictures of 3 random guys on the beach, would that be ok?
How about 3 senior citizens?
Does he need to ask permission for his wife to take a picture, so she's not threatened?

Let's turn it around. Should the man be allowed to forbid her to get messages? Should the man be allowed to go through her stuff and destroy what makes him insecure? I don't think so. If Rammy was a woman poster, and her husband was controlling, I'd give the same advice.
