If I remember correctly, I found the PDML in the fall of 1998.
Or perhaps the PDML fell when I found it in 1998.
Either way, I'm 14.

That's a great set of photos, looks like a fun occasion all round.


Thanks Bob.  Yes, it is a lot of fun.  I usually spend most of my time 
there dancing at Mr. Fezziwig's Christmas party, but there are a lot of 
shows, merchants selling a wide variety of wares, and some surprisingly 
good food for such a venue, not to mention street theater all over the 
place. In addition to the shows I photographed we also had a nice tea at 
Cuthbert's and saw a show called Naughty French Postcards that Bruce 
would have loved.  Unfortunately, photography is not allowed at NFP, but 
it's quite well done. There are a couple of actors on the stage doing 
some generally humorous dialogue in front of a scrim.  Every couple of 
minutes the lights will go down in front of the scrim and come up behind 
the scrim showing a scene with several actors posed, often evoking 
various classical paintings.

Assuming you meant PDML age rather than total chronological age…

I found PDML in the spring of ’97 or ’98. ’97 I think. I was getting
reengaged with photography, I was starting to expand my lens selection and
wanted a 135mm. I was totally baffled when trying to discern the relative
merits of the 4 used 135's then on the used market and I came seeking
advice. At the time it was easy to find as it was a link from the Pentax USA
homepage…

However, I don’t believe I am the most senior.

As the rest of the world reckons such things, I am 72 years old and 74
inches tall. Gradually getting old and shorter.

RE: And an annual happy birthday to everyone

[Igor PDML-StR]

I found the list, yet hosted and supported by Pentax while either while 
choosing my first AF SLR (which also happened to be my first K-mount SLR),

or shortly after buying one in 1997.

(After choosing between Nikon N50, N70, and N90, and not liking the 
ergonomics of N50 (and not being able to afford N90), I bought  Pentax 
ZX-5n, unseen, untried (unlike those Nikons), - purely based on the 
description. And I loved its ergonomics.)


So, it makes me about 19.

Regarding the age outside of PDML, - when I joined the list, I was 
probably the youngest one. Since that there were just a few people who 
were slightly younger, but at this point, I suspect, maybe Boris is 
slightly younger (or slightly older?) then me... I forgot... (or maybe 
I've never known that.)

The wide shots were mostly shot with my DA 15-30/2.8 and my walkaround

The singers are a group called Brass Farthing, and the morris dancers

speeds.

Assuming you meant PDML age rather than total chronological age…

I found PDML in the spring of ’97 or ’98. ’97 I think. I was getting reengaged 
with photography, I was starting to expand my lens selection and wanted a 
135mm. I was totally baffled when trying to discern the relative merits of the 
4 used 135's then on the used market and I came seeking advice. At the time it 
was easy to find as it was a link from the Pentax USA homepage…

However, I don’t believe I am the most senior.

As the rest of the world reckons such things, I am 72 years old and 74 inches 
tall. Gradually getting old and shorter.

If I've counted correctly, I'm 66.

Puts me somewhere in the lower middle bracket I think. I'm pretty sure
Larry's younger than I am. Ann & Dan are older, and maybe Jack Davis.

One thing that surprised me was the number of us on this list born in 1960, 
although Bong comes closest to my birthday, although I'd it weren't for the

Never had that problem. Camera diopter doesn't have enough magnification
(or whatever it does) to handle my uncorrected eyesight.

I've been wearing glasses since I was 12. No chance for contacts, my
blink reflex is so bad I could never put them in. I've been wearing
bifocals since my early 50s & went to progressives right away because I
couldn't handle stairs with the kind that have the line in the middle.

NOT a candidate for laser surgery. Doctor says I have too much
astigmatism. But they told me that if I ever have to have cataract
surgery, they might be able to fit me with a lens that corrects my
distant vision & then I'll only need reading glasses for close up work.

Hoodman offered a pair of "Photoframes" that flipped the glass part up
out of the way while your eye was against the viewfinder, but it doesn't
look like they make/sell them any longer.

http://petapixel.com/2010/02/24/pma2010glasses-for-photographers/


It's a shame. I looked at them one time, but they were VERY expensive
($500 frames) & you still had to pay your eye doctor to make the lenses
to fit them. Plus, when I asked about getting cable temples, I was told
they were not available.

Searching for them now, the old reviews show them with cable temples.
What a bummer.

K5, F50/1.7 @ f/4.5
Picked them up at an estate sale. Looked like a fun still life project.

I like snow for a background.

The sun was diffused by some high clouds so the reflection wasn't too harsh.
If I still had it, a diffusion panel  just behind me would have been useful
to soften further the shadow line.
But this still works.

Next time I'll lower my shooting angle. Just a little.
Wishing I had a longer fixed f/l.  100mm, 120mm, or 150mm would have worked

Maybe the 28-105 as it does ok with close objects.

Re: PESO - from the shower

[Bruce Walker]

I do a hell of a lot of networking, John. :)  Sometimes it's traveling
models (like Dane, from Vancouver) contacting me with availability
notices, sometimes me doing cold calling by way of Facebook groups,
and also good old Model Mayhem.

Thank you very much, John.

Re: Happy Birthday -Dan- Ann.

[P. J. Alling]

So, let me get this straight.  We should be wishing Ann and your mother 
a happy birthday.  But somehow everyone is wishing you a happy 
birthday.   (Yes, I am auditioning as Captain Obvious). Just so we have 
this straight.

Re: Happy Birthday Dan

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Thanks, Larry, and everyone else who wished me happy birthday.

At this age, one does not feel much like celebrating a birthday.  It feels
too much like a ticking time bomb.

On my birthday, I took my wife to see Andrea Bocelli in the Prudential
Center in Newark.  It is the home of the New Jersey Devils NHL team, and
hosts many big concert events and college basketball as well.  The concert
was quite nice, but the traffic jam getting out of the parking lot was
quite trying.

Just so you folks know, I don't do Farce Book.  I have had two incidents
where adverse parties in legal proceedings tried to use postings there in
an unpleasant manner, so I stay away.

Re: GESO Dickens Fair

A very nice GESO, Larry. Must have been a wonderful evening. Hard to find 
that sort of thing in SA now. We do still have the Jubilee Morrismen in 
Jo'burg, which Iv'e seen a couple of times. Quite a complex dance form. I 
think you'd make a splendid Morrisman - you could always be the one with the 
Asses head to keep it incognito!

RE: My next piece of photographic gear

[John Coyle]

Hi Larry - join the club!  At my age, it's inevitable that I need more help (I 
started wearing
glasses for myopia at age 12!).  I now have two pairs, progressives for 
walk-about use, and a single
focal length pair giving me a range of about 70-200cm (funny that), which I use 
for computer work.
I can read books and papers without glasses at all, after my lens started to 
harden, changing the
unassisted focussing range.
Closer work and tiny print is another matter altogether...

I've been wearing progressives since I was about 48, I probably should have

two earlier. It's just annoying that my older glasses no longer work just fine, 
it's even more
annoying that my vision no longer corrects to as good as it once did, or that I 
get ranges where my
eyes just won't focus, even with the progressives.
