p.3 #1 · How many younger guys/gals here?

I may qualify as the oldest geezer on the forum. I am 75 and heading to Yellowstone this January. I was trained at 19 in the army using a 4x5 Speed Graphic. In Japan, I was wary of that new company selling 35mm film cameras called "Nikon".

I'm 24 and have no problem getting up at 3 in the morning to travel for a good wildlife or landscape opportunity! That's not to say that I'm any good at photography, though...

I definitely don't think it's about the cost. My other hobby is mountain biking, and there are plenty of young guys with very expensive bikes. I'm leaning towards them not taking time to smell the roses, which if that is the case is a shame.

I'm into DH MTB. Loads of my friends have top flight bikes. A fair few are sponsored, but the majority of us are just weekend warriors. It's surprisingly easy to get really good kit with a normal job and some industry contacts. Heck I had a Brooklyn Racelink at 16 just by buying full bikes, splitting them up and selling them on! Easiest money I ever made.

I'm 21, but unless I have severe insomnia you'll never see me up shooting before sunrise, unless all I have to do is wake up and walk outside.

I'm 19. I started shooting when I was 16ish. I know my avatar looks childish. But I just love Pucca too much. My beloved mom hates to see me lug my cameras around..

Oh by the way, I'm still a newbie....

29 here, I don't really consider myself a photographer. Just a guy that likes to take pictures as a hobby.

I was out shooting in Utah this past week and I've come to notice that there is never anyone near my age(30) out shooting. I got to a few spots about 30 minutes before sunrise and there was always a crowd, but most of them were quite a bit older. I'm just curious as to how many of you are younger, and why more young people aren't out enjoying the hobby.
How do you know those people you're labeling as "quite a bit older" aren't really 30? I've been 30 for the past 25 years, before that I was 17.

Thats right Mike... I've been 23 for the last 40 years... just celebrated the 40th anniversary of my 23rd birthday this year!!! "Quite a bit older" my a.....

Nah, I think there was a 13 year old a page back. Wish I would have stuck with photography when I was younger (still am young for this forum though!).

I am young, 62 years young and in great shape, would love to drag a few young guys thru the Everglades with me and we'll see who's young. Young is in the mind.
