I'm hoping there's a significant fraction of younger people getting interested in traditional photography. I know there's the Holga/Lomo crowd, and I see tons of old film cameras going on ebay all the time with multiple bids, so I suspect there are lots of young people getting into this. David A. Goldfarb 10-15-2007, 03:32 PM Funny, I thought we had an old thread on this topic, but I guess I'm thinking of the similar thread on the LF forum.
41 thebanana 10-15-2007, 04:02 PM 54. I was recently told by a good friend that 54 is the new 34. Works for me:) jimagain 10-15-2007, 04:47 PM 57 going on 17. TheFlyingCamera 10-15-2007, 04:51 PM 37. By young folks' standards, that makes me old. By old folks' standards I'm still young. Frankly, I don't much care what other people think of my age, it is what it is, a number, and I don't want to give up any of what I've learned in the last 37 years to make that number smaller, but I don't feel "OLD" either. jd callow 10-15-2007, 04:53 PM Funny, I thought we had an old thread on this topic, but I guess I'm thinking of the similar thread on the LF forum.

It was here on APUG, but I can't find it. Meanwhile, I am 47 and ready to get into trouble. Fleath 10-15-2007, 04:56 PM 18. I know an 18 year old with an AE-1P and a 17 year old with a Pentax K1000 too. Michel Hardy-Vallée 10-15-2007, 05:03 PM 27. Which has been said to be the new 27.
I can't find that old APUG thread either! Andy K 10-15-2007, 07:27 PM 45. Remember growing old is compulsory, growing up is optional. jnanian 10-15-2007, 07:47 PM 41.87 and in trouble ... MurrayMinchin 10-15-2007, 07:50 PM 47, but immature :)
Murray SuzanneR 10-15-2007, 08:24 PM Uhmmmmm.... 29, yeah... that's it, 29! :D blaze-on 10-15-2007, 09:26 PM Old enough to know what I want...and young enough to still enjoy it. DWThomas 10-15-2007, 09:34 PM 66 and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up ....
DaveT Akki14 10-16-2007, 04:22 AM Really 25, not makin' it up like the others :p I was using a Praktica BCA, then a Nikon FG, THEN a holga (and now I seem to have mostly vintage cameras around like some people have confetti after a party, hmm....) benjiboy 10-16-2007, 07:14 AM Almost 69, photography is my only vice, I don't smoke, drink, or have sex, I probably won't live to be a hundred, it will only seem like it ! ben-s 10-16-2007, 08:17 AM 20. I have it on fairly good authority that my 645 is older than me. (Probably my AE-1P's are too)
The other day while clearing out an old studio at work, I discovered a roll of FP4 that expired the month I was born - quite an interesting experience!
I'm debating whether to keep it or shoot it :) coigach 10-16-2007, 12:46 PM 34 and never been kissed...!:D I think I'm older now than the last time this question came up...
All right. I'm 45. At the moment. ;) Justin Silber 10-16-2007, 05:50 PM 22 years young!
My Graphic View 4x5 is roughly twice as old as I am
My Cambo SCX as best I can tell is about the same age as me.
Not sure how old my forthcoming RB67 is.
I have a friend who is 87, and he retired the year I was born :D GeoffHill 10-16-2007, 06:08 PM 28 1/4 :) recently hit 34 so you guys might be stuck with me for a while yet! :p light leak 10-16-2007, 07:36 PM 35 in November. I'm younger than film and older than digital. gr82bart 10-16-2007, 09:55 PM 35 though many think I'm 15. I wish I were ....
