how old are we?

[Renato Tonelli]

I'm not telling! Not until at least 50 women post their age as well. I mean, what's up with that?!?
No takers, heh? OK, I'm 53 and have been doing large format on and off for about 20 years.

Thought I'd add a few years to the mix; I'm 85.

Old enough to know better; young enough not to care.....

Well, I can't remember if I have posted here yet or not.

I am 53 and I have three 10-year-old boys to keep me from thinking too much like an old fart. It also helps that I run the teaching darkroom at a university -- these college kids were not even born when I started college! Keeps me on my toes.

I started photographing in 1976 when my dad gave me his old Rollei TLR after he moved up to the top of the line Instamatic (the 804). Learned to print using the employee darkroom at the Grand Canyon in 1977. Then took photo classes at the university where I discovered I was using the Rollei like a view camera, so I switched to 4x5 in 1979, on to 5x7 in 1989 or so, and to 8x10 in about 1994.

I'm 65. I've been a photographer since the mid 60's and got my first large format camera in '78.

I am surprised by the results of this survey - I would have expected the median age to be higher.
