Curious...what's the average age on here. I know there are some older folks and some young'ins (Alex K.)...but what is the average age?

I'll start- 25, but 15 at heart. ;)

When you're old enough that you have to contemplate the question for a moment, it's a pretty sure bet that you've moved beyond the centerline.

45, if my math is correct.

25 and also a kid 4-ever :)

Older than Glen and Rob, but a little younger than Jeff. I never grew up, just old :)

Ill add: 23.

Never Stop Learning

34 here. Old enough to have seen a lot, but young enough to have not seen it all...

Another youngin (just a tad less vocal :) i'm 17

26 here

I be 27...

I'm afraid I have Jeff beat....I'm 56

Thanks, William. For a few minutes there, I was starting to feel very lonely.

I've got underwear older than most of these guys. (j/k)

24

According to Mr. Ebert, if I was gonna make it in Hollywood, I woud have had to have made a few movies by now. :D

38

but like my friend told me, you don't reach your prime until your 40's

I'm a young'n at the ripe young age of 19.

I think membership here really runs the gamut--we have plenty of teenagers and folks in their 50s and early 60s--but the numbers fall off sharply at 70s and 80s.

I'm 19. 20 in a month !!!

17 years when I brought my XL1
18 when joined this wonderful community

All the best,

Ed

*In my best smooth voice*, "Heyyy there..." ;)

Yeah it really is a pretty diverse group. On the Mazda Protege forums the age bracket seems to be locked in between 18-28. Then again how wide of an age group do you expect to be online talking about import cars. :)

Do they import Peugeot as well?

The United States?....nope. I wish- love that hatchback Peugeot runs in the World Rally! My dream car is the new 04 Subaru Impreza STi!

49

(Will we be updating this thread next year?)

I'm only doing this so the "average" in this poll doesn't swing too far toward the cradle. I am *sigh* 43, with a birthday next month.

Kinda late to get started in video production, but luckily I have two younger, and smarter, guys with me. Wouldn't last a day in this venture without 'em; having an absolute blast with 'em.

Just recently celebrated my 30th, but the gray hairs started around 23... I'm pretty certain they have something to do with my then girlfriend / now wife. ;)

56 almost 57, 3 kids + spouses, 2 grandkids, 2 grandbirds, 1 grandsnake, 1 dog, 1 wife. The kids and wife have always been the same (34 years for the wife-26 to 32 years for the kids-5 years for the dog-snake is UNK-birds ??? grandkids almost 5 and brand new, like 3 or 4 days :)
I can tell you which child (or wife) caused which gray hair and why. I'm thankful I have gray hair and not no hair. The cameras are getting much heavier as I get older, perhaps it's time to retire. NAAAAAA! What would I do on the weekends?
Got to take my geritol and vitamins now, got a wedding tomorrow. ;-0
Don

I'm 34.

Yay, do I get a prize for being the youngest? :D

14 (about to be 15 here at the end of this month).

I'm 49 & 1/2. I'll hit the big 50 on March 4th. I don't feel my age except for those darn 80 year old knees and my poor head---infested with lots of white stuff. Nevertheless, I kick and punch each and every day as part of my work-out to feel a little younger...and knuckle push-ups to boot. :)

Turned 69 on June 20. 2003. :-)

Sandy

No Alex... Now go to your room! :)

Alexander,

So, is "Sandy" your nickname? Or does that mean you spent your 69th birthday on the beach?

And Keith, I think you're being too lenient. Make him stand in the corner.

John- I noticed you skated around the original question... There's another corner with your name :)

20 (turning 21 in November)

Man, the more that reply the more the demographic swawy towards upper 30's and above. Maybe us mid 20's and below are in the minority here!

Just to keep that trend moving in the right direction . . . I'm 46 and I've been doing video and photography since 1979. Next month will make it 24 years in the business, more than half my life. Don, watch those No Hair remarks. I resemble those remarks, went grey at 17 and shaved off what was left 2 years ago.

Both. Sandy is a traditional Scottish nickname for Alexander plus I live in a man made harbor in Huntington Beach. I picked up the name Sandman tons of years ago when I was a beach rat and surfed a lot (originally on a wooden board, when men were men, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum).

And Keith, I think you're being too lenient. Make him stand in the corner. -->>>

Just point me where you want me to go and remind me when to come back. :-) Can I take my GL2?

You are ok Sandy, it was Alex that was being punished :)

Jeff -

So your saying you started the year some of us were born? Good for you.

I learned something very important in the 4 yeras I worked as an Ambulance attendant:

The state of your hair is not so important... as long as you are around to comment on it. =)

Yes, 23 and have grey hair from some of the calls... FUN STUFF!

I don't count the years I was in college (75-79), just the years getting paid for doing this stuff. Poor Alex K., I was already doing this for 10 years before he was born. But he'll be doing it long after I'm gone.

Jeff, similar age to you, but still have my hair (brown, sorta), and Just For Men works wonders. (wifes idea, but I like it).
Had to shave the beard though. Used to be red, now Santa Clause white with red streaks.

I joined this wonderful forum at the age of 38 on 9 May, two days before my birthday.

Which, for the mathematically challenged in the audience, makes me 39.

Whew................................ :-) (He deserved it!)

26 & balding.

I have just reached 43, and you are sooo right Rik!

Ivan

I'm 22, female. Love films.

FWIW I'm 28 starting to thin out on top and share my b-day with the King Elvis Presley whom i'm not a big fan of unless his picture is on velvet.

Ill be 60 next month, and have all my hair and still act and feel like a kid thankyou very much (Just a little gray around the edges from raising two girls).

I'm 38...but don't feel a day over 37.

just 35 and getting younger thanks to this to dvi

30 but act like 25!
WOOHOOO!!!!

21....22 in Sept :)

I remember 21 and 22... They were very good years for me. Sigh...
