I agree.... I turned 60 last August. I was asked how I feel. I replied... When I was 17 I was fooling around in local Theatre. I was playing with cameras. I was playing guitar and singing in a Garage Band. What am I doing now? I am doing photos for local Theatre Company. I do Photography Prof. (but as a sideline to my day job) I play guitar and sing in a Classic Rock and Country Band www.rockabye-music.com I ain't never gonna be (nor never was) middle aged Maybe some day I'll be a dirty ole man!

The Book (Jan Faul) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 2 Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2015 15:41:57 -0400 From: Jan Faul <jan@xxxxxxxxxxx> I just went through the little book again, and if there is one emotion its contents bring to me it is one of sadness. Nostalgia ain?t what it used to be. All of the participants are highly skilled, have been with photography a long time, and know how to express themselves with a camera. I think it?s a shame we haven?t put together more of these volumes, as together the contents seem to portray a group older photographers either in retirement or about to be. -- Russ R.E.
