Age Demographics

[ChRiSiS]

Retired at 65 (three years ago) so my age is easy to figure out! "Sometimes" I wish I was still working because the Honey Do list never seems to get any shorter but I can wander off and take photos any time so life is good.

As a fellow/former nCanadian (lived in the USA for the last 32 years), who retired at 63 some five years ago my age is also easy to figure out. With the arrival of grandkids a few years ago my photo output is waaay up. I’m still consulting, so that’s my excuse for avoiding certain aspects of the Honey-Do list!

72 here. Surprised I made it this far, with the choices in life I made
Surprised a lot of other people too.

68 and retired for nearly 2 years. Retiring was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made. No more Zoom conference calls, no more office politics and more time to devote to photography (when the wife isn't handing me me "to do" lists).

Soooooo..are all of you Guys? (As opposed to Gals.)
I know there's more women on here somewhere.....
I'm 66. Retired. No point in giving my husband to-do lists... I end up doing most of them.
I have a blast with photography. I love to drive and camp, hike in the summer, snowshoe and x-country ski in the winter. Only problem is carrying the gear and trying to get a backpack off fast enough to get the good photos!! My favorite is to go out on the back roads and trails in my lil 4x4. My husband gets bored with that and seldom goes with me. He stays at home and plays in his woodshop. Now tell me that ain't boring!!!!!!!

Hi Anne,

Karen (of Phil and Karen) is female. We share a love of photography, but Karen is a far better photographer than I (Phil) will ever be - she has 'the eye' for composition, angles and textures and all that kind of stuff.

Karen is a very accomplished cyclist, having completed the Lands End to John O'Groats ride. Her preferred camera set-up is the R7 with EF 100-400L II, else EF 16-35L. (She also loves our Sony RX10 IV's ).

Having said all that, I do all our editing/ post-processing, along with any tech and forum stuff - so although you'll get to see her images, it will be my words that accompany them.

(Note - Karen is more than capable of doing any of the techie stuff, it's just that I have the one thing she currently lacks - free time).

Phil and Karen

PS. Karen is also my angel, soul mate and wife...
