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.

He seems like a good guy. No need to make an issue over a few photos when she knows her husband would never stray.
Rammy shouldn't have to walk on eggshells his whole life.

She's welcome to do so ... I'll trade her child-birthing ass in for someone younger and looks better in a bikini!
What he did was no different than taking pictures of the ocean or landscape. The wife was very petty to go through and delete his photos. They were his, not hers.
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.
A woman has a problem with her husband taking photographs of barely dressed strangers passing by, and SHE is controlling and destructive?
Rammy, I like you, but doing that in front of your wife is just begging for a conflict and to hurt her feelings.
Would it be right for your husband to throw out your favorite sweater (without asking/telling you) because he thought it made you look like a slut and other men are lusting after you while on a family vacation while sitting right next to the kiddos?
If so then this doesn't sound so much like a jealousy issue as much as a respect issue. I know it sucks to argue with a spouse...I hope that you're each listening to each other so that your relationships continues to grow in a positive direction.
And I see that TS will have a very good looking DIL.
