If it is any consolation a few years ago I was invited to a "veterans" football match.
The minimum age to qualify was 35.

Apparently the needs to learn to use the words in a more appropriate way is universal.  :D

This is one of the most fitting post for this aptly named section in NG!

I cannot congratulate more, Dave!

Well, you are probably so old that you can remember the days when cameras had something called film in them  ;D

David, they could have been more cruel if they had described you as a "Vintage Photographer"!  LOL  ;D

More seriously though, you certainly deserve the more positive accolades that they made in respect of your work.  I am certainly pleased to have seen your many posts here on NG.

. . . "veteran" - how  cruel can they get?   :'( ;D ;D

Sure wish I could be there to see your show!

Just think of "veteran" as "wise & experienced". That's not so bad!  ;D

Thanks again for all your encouragement. What a great place NG is.

Well, you are probably so old that you can remember the days when cameras had something called film in them  ;D

Sten - I'll give you a real laugh - the first "large-format" camera I bought was a quarter-plate* Kodak folding bellows camera. It was of some antiquity and admittedly I bought it in a junk-shop (for £2.00, in 1967); it came complete with a box of (I think) 24 glass-plate negatives. I shot and developed them all - still have them somewhere, and actually did part of the work of my first paid job - a record-sleeve - using that camera and a couple of those glass negs.

* quarter-plate - 4.25 x 3.25 inches; 11 x 8cm
