stembaughphotography Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 II know what photographers and Jesus have in common! Both always answered a question with another question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolan_ross Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 They just get old and die. The camera's hit the drieway for a yard sale and the pictures wind up in the trash. Wait that's to sad. No they never die and live on in the quality of their work for all eternity bringing joy and happiness to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyinca Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Most die and so do their cameras. Their lenses do live on, unless of course it is auto focus without an aperture ring. Those just fade away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffs Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 The photos fade first, then the tog.Eventually everything adds up to a hill of beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelChang Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Old photographers die, but live in the hearts of those with felt significance to their work - until they die, then everything fades away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonmestrom Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 There are old school photographers but no old photographers. Photography keeps you young. And once you pack it in you walk towards a bright white light and simply go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffs Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Use exposure compensation if the bright white light is too bright ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainer_t Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 My father in law has a collection of old photographs of his ancestors. He's 76 years old, and the pictures lead back another three generations (the oldest one taken probably around 1870). From the generation before them, he has photographs of paintings. Of course he doesn't keep these pictures to "honor the unknown photographer", nevertheless, a bit of the work of those people is still alive. He recently asked me to make digital images from his old pictures and do some postprocessing on them, since the old images really start to fade out. So, you never know, some things might just live quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay a. frew Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Don't forget....when you finally walk towards that "bright white light"....use your lens hood. Cheers! Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjoseph7 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 "Do old photographers die or do they just fade away?" We live in a culture in a "Throw away" culture. Here one minute, gone the next. Everybody gets their 15 minute of fame. Out with the old, in with a new, to the point where there is no appreciation, no respect for those who blazed the path. Good photographers never die, people are still talking about Ansel Adams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlesheckel Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Old photographers do indeed fade away. Happily, this will not happen to the young photographers, as they have all been fixed. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainer_t Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 -- "Old digital photographers experience checksum error" And I always thought, they get converted into a different color space, resized and lossy compressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
