hi, i am fairly new here. i am in the infancy stage of learning dv. i do believe i have finally chosen to purchase the xls, thanks to all of the great articles on this site. i am a painter, and for the past few years i have been resisting this overwhelming need to work in moving images,,,,,so,,,,,here i go. i am 45 and i do not know what i want to be when i grow up.

Good for you, Jacqueline, and Welcome!

I suspect that your experience in another visual medium will serve your creative inspiration in videography well, perhaps in unexpected ways.

Ken,

I hope you're taking into account that some of us have gotten older since our ages were posted...!

Alas, I've been around long enough to say that I knew Robert K.S. way back when he was but a young lad, not yet out of high school. If that doesn't qualify me as an old fart, I don't know what does.

51.

It's a sobering thought that when Mozart was my age he had been dead for 16 years.

Even though I think my birth certificate is wrong, 31.

17 :)

I work at my school's Television Studio.

Josh,

I wish I had a TV studio when I was at school!!!

Happy shooting,

Ed

I'm so old I can remember when Disney had an original idea!!!

I still have to ask my wife from time to time as I just forget about the birthday stuff...

46

37, but my body sometimes feels older

43, and well on my way to Curmudgeon Land...

I am 26, and i feel really really old.

just kidding :)

54 and going for the Gold!!!

Hi my name is Fred Garhart and I live in Calgary. I am twenty years old and I will be turning twenty one on June 2. I have just received my new professional Panasonic PV-DV953 camcorder and it is my first camcorder. I really like this place. Everyone is nice and helpful and there is so much to read. Have a great day!

49 and I don't give a hoot!

1000+ and a little dusty, if age is a state of mind...

In my 30's according to carbon dating methods.

45 this very day...but plan a behavioral regression to 21 tonight!

22 ha

This is what I tell my friends: Bernard Baruch-
To me, old age is always fifteen years older than I am.

This is what I tell myself: Edith Wharton-
It spite of illness, in spite even of the archenemy sorrow, one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in a small way

Born 1946

Forty years and one week today. Time flies when you're having fun.

(Note to self: Think about having a little less fun from now on)

JF..

Forty Eight and feelin' Great!!

My parents used to tell me that I was born in june 1936...and I suppose this is correct.

There's nothing like being late to the party...

Ken, you'll have to make an adjustment. My birthday is today, so I'm 47.

Thanks, Ken--it's nice to know that the 40+ crowd is still "above average." :)

Andre, would you care to elaborate on your post? I'd like to hear more of the story.

And Jeff--Happy Birthday !!!!

Hey, Jeff, Happy Birthday!

Aw, now I have to adjust the whole darn spreadsheet.

Lorinda, there is nothing special to the story. I have not been found somewhere in the bushes..but I believe we were all " too young" when we were born to be sure of our birthday. We have to believe what our environment tells us.

I'm 17, but turning 18 in 3 months. :-)

Happy birthday, Jeff! Just wondering...how are you be able to photograph wildlife, with all your camera setup, and manage a walker at the same time?

I gave up the walker at 45, John. Now I make my students with a C or worse average push me in my wheelchair.

Gee I'm 3 months older than Jeff. Darnit.

That's so true, Andre--a concept I hadn't considered. It's entirely possible that your parents conspired with hospital staff, etc. to falsify your birth records and conceal the truth. Probably happens all the time.

OLD!! haha

Just turned 25

Reached my Prime, and getting better!
I'm 42 as of December.

Okay, I dont bounce of a judo matt like I used to....

I'll start- 25, but 15 at heart. ;) -->>>

Wow, this thread's been on forever!
31 as of last November - but I'm digging in my heels right here and I ain't going no further!
Lorinda - come to think of it, my folks don't look me in the eye if they ever talk about when I was born! :-) Another one for the X-Files!

34. Though I subscribe to the theory that you're only as old as you feel which makes me about 12 most days.

44 3/4...boy am in denial or what

35 I think.

I just turned 56, and I believe I'm just getting started on a whole new thing.

I started my cinema verite/documentary/commentary website about a month ago, and I expect that it's going to be going for a long time.
