20, /started 2 years ago.
and as of today i have been signed with a gallery!
I'll be 60 in November. Started with a Brownie Hawkeye at age 12. Moved "up" to a Kodak 126 Instamatic at 16. At 17 I got serious and got the wide angle and telephoto auxillary lenses (along with the snap on viewfinder and dandy carying case) for the 126. My first 35mm was a Minolta SRT-101 I got in the BX at Kunsan AFB Korea in '69. Developed my first roll of black and white there, too, at the hobby shop darkroom, and was hooked. I'll never forget seeing that first image magically appear in that tray...
Over the years have owned and used a Rollei TLR, RB67, Bronica ETRSi, Contax RTS, Nikon F and F100, Crown Graphic, Calumet CC401, and several stereo cameras.
Went digital with a Nikon D70 several years ago.
Returning to LF after a few years.
Still have that first Minolta - with my name engraved on it so I wouldn't sell it.
58 and lucky to retire your. Did a lot of lf in the 80's and am just getting back into it.

Too God Damn old. I hate being old.
Man this thread keeps getting revived.
And this time.....I'm 40. DAMN!!!
When I was born, my hair color tone was about Zone III. Now, at 61, it's about Zone VII.
Time really is a bizzare concept until you try to walk a trail you used to run!
Welcome to all you youngsters who are doing LF! That bodes well for the future.
