Notice how no one ever says "I'm so and so going on...." after about one's 13th birthday?

I'm 27, going on 28...

I've been doing LF for a couple years, and photography for 10 or 11.

I didn't go through the previous 38 pages so I may be repeating what many have said but I am 50 (for about another 30+ days) and have been shooting large format for 35 years and teaching it for 5 years.

Let's hear it for all the mid-century folks!

I tell people that I'm 9 going on 80.

What's indisputably true is that I'm more than six years older than I was when I first laid eyes on this thread...

it's as easy as a point and shoot .... not

I am 60, strictly amateur, and have used LF for six years, black and white only. I have taken lots of pictures but only get about on or two pictures per year that really please me

I am on my 80th trip around the sun. First LF camera was a 4x5 Speed Graphic in 1937 (age 8). Now I use everything up to 7x17 which happens to be my favorite.
