The OLDER Photographers' thread...

Then I have gotten old way too young.

You have my sympathy.

Thank you.

I guess it gives me perspective, right? Makes me feel guilty, though. There's an 80-year-old lady at church who keeps trying to come over and clean my house for me!

I'm blessed to have wonderful people in my life who care and love me no matter what though. She's a blessing even if the contrasts of it, a younger person having an older person offer to take care of things for them, seem kind of ironic.

Usually we just hire in my best friend to do what I can't - she needs the money and I get to spend time with her when she isn't working.

Life is what it is. I'm not built like a young Adonis, and you perhaps are not quite Diana, but we both make the best of what we are.

All that matters is that your other half loves you and you love him. The rest is just maintenance.

Love that! Will have to put it on a wall somewhere.

Love that Roger, really, if you have each other, as you say, the rest is just superfluous really.

Well, that and a 5D3!

(Just kidding!)

Yes, the much awaited update. It will be interesting. I am still in love with my 5D2 so I doubt I will throw it over for a newer younger model with more curves.

Once upon a time I was built like Adonis.

Ever notice the older we get the better we were?

LOL I like that analogy.

What are all you young whipper snapers doing on this thread?

I've been drawing social security for a few years now but I'm still trying to learn something everyday.
The hardest thing for me is to get low to the ground to take a picture.. well not so much gettind down as getting back up..

I've also been told I was like a Greek god. Unfortunately, the god in question was Dionysus, the god of drunkenness and sloth.

The older you are, the farther away the ground is.

Also, the saying is what goes up must come down. The reverse is not mentioned at all.

Ha! I knew there was a reason it was getting so hard to get down on the ground these days

We sure seem to find that out as we age...
