I'm old. Used to have a Praktica SLR in the 60s-70s which finally rusted into disuse before 1980. Bought a Canon SLR in the 90s, my first digital camera in 2003. After retiring in 2000, attended a part-time course, still largely about film, which qualified me for LRPS (never registered) but subsequently only ever took a couple of paid assignments; am mainly just a hobby photographer.
