Old enough (and maybe a little bit more) to remember making my very first photographic exposure on 8x10 Ilford glass plate under the guidance of a neighbour ... who was then a few years older than I am now.

67 years old, got my first 4x5 in 1963 (I was 14). At least now I have the time to shoot. Back in the day, I worked for a couple of photographers, and learned lots from some Art Center (College of Design) grads.
As for the alternative, Old age is a gift not offered to all.

I'm 43 and my Super Graphic was made the same year that I was.
i m 29 years old and shot for 4 years but i m not a professional, i m in learning period now
Old enough to be offended if I'm categorized as a "millennial."
Young enough that it might be true, depending on the cut off date you use.
Old enough to have a referral to a cardio-vascular specialist.

Indeed! Stages of old - three stents, and then what?Originally Posted by John Kasaian
Depends upon our lousy health plan.

Death sentence.
54. Been shooting 4x5 since 1984, 8x10 since 1995 and 11x14 since 1999. At the other end, 120 since 1969 and 35 since 1973. Spent a good number of days last fall lugging the 810 around in our Town Forest, lots of uphill climbing and downhill creeping there. I've since got a Pentax 67...
67 and growing younger every day He lets me. Age is a mind set and lifestyle. Two stents and still ok at 14,000 ft. Just a lot slower. Hell just slower at sea level. Shoot mostly 4x5 and still print when the teacher doesn't banish me from the school darkroom. Still in love with her. Always will be.
My OM stent 2.5 years ago drastically improved my Heath. Cured 20 years of horrible vertigo. Got me back on bikes. Lost 50 lbs. changed my thinking. Renewed me.
5 years ago I quit all white sugar, most alcohol, white bread and try to eat Cave Man diet per my smart very old Doctor. We also weaned me off the BS miracle statins and other crap. He called it all poison.
My blood Chems have changed to something I have never seen. All good numbers. My old Doc retirer. My new young Doc insists I take the damn statins. I said OK, 3 months and let's check my blood.
2 weeks...
3 heart attacks. I'm used to them now.
BTW. Everything now works again!
65 and a living miracle!
