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.

Looking (not staring) is fine, taking pics isn't. Certain things should change when you are married, out of respect for each other.
Doesn't sound like you are married. It's not about feeling threatened. We just want to know our spouse cares enough to not need to have pics of hot strangers.
I dated a girl in college that had posters of shirtless, muscle bound men all over her dorm room. I thought it was funny. I wasn't threatened that she'd dump me for some steriod freak.
By the way I did read through alot of this thread, it is just way to long to read the whole thing, but I did find what I read interesting.
... but my wife didn't question me before deleting those photos ... if she had asked, I probably would have (to avoid a fight or upon realization that it did bother her that much).
