What do you have to do to be a senior member on this board?
Just talk a lot. After "X" number of posts I assume you then become 'senior'. It is not about age as I still can't get a movie ticket discounted for 'seniors'.

Speak for yourself! I'm 27 also, I still feel like I have the strength to fight another 50 years then maybe I'll switch to whatever uber-video is out then... :)

Everyone just thinks I'm cRaZy . . .

I shot my first frame of motion picture film in 2000 (K40), on a GAF 805 SS camera I bought at a second hand store (thrift store) for under $ 10.

I've just managed to squeeze into the penultimate category and it feels good! I'm 50 and glad that I can still produce shaky, out-of-focus shots as well as the next man - even after all these years.

Errm... I'm also 35. If I think back to the 80s (cue the Kodachrome...) Our school yearbook had a tiny little darkroom that was horribly ventilated -- I suspect that the after-effect of several years of intense exposure to chemicals caused me to lose track of most of the early 2000s. Hmm.

I'm 17 and have been shooting Super 8 since I was eight. I only use it for family purposes though, and as a hobby.
