Hello, I am in my mid fifty's. I've been a camera/lab tech for thirty odd years,
I had a fall about ten year ago. The company doc said i was fine. about 4 years ago I started to have pain in my loyer back. My doc gave me pills to help. I slowly started to get worse, My hands started to shake and walking was painful. At the days end i could just get in my car and go home.
My mother was suffering from cancer, I moved in with my parents to help my dad care for my mom. My moms illness was the primary concern of our family. She passed away about 2 years.
I also broke down with spinal disks damage.the company i worked for went under so i waa only able to get minamal help.
The killer is i love using my Hasselblad. The camera is simple amazing. I do printing for my father who also shoots images for our church. His images are mostly digital. Some are negs which i scan with a epson flat bed. Most are scaned at 3,200 dpi.
take care,
George
 
Welcome George:

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. Your vast abilities don't prevent you from enjoying photography, printing, scanning, and releasing a shutter once in awhile, so enjoy it like there is no tomorrow.

Good Light:

Greetings George,

Right now I'm in Jersey, and will be for the next few years. However I'm from Cali just like yourself.

I'm still but a wee child in my 30's but I can visualize your frustration. I'd like to keep making images until I'm horizontal though.

Keep doin' it.
 
Welcome George
I'm in my mid 50's too and my mom died 2 years ago too.
So hard to get used to the idea that she is not around anymore.
But mourning is over now and the sadness has gone away (almost)

I just finished building my studio and about to move in.
My first real studio space in 10 years.

I'm a true believer of the superiority of larger sensors (or film) over minute ones.
I'm planning on buying a dback for my V system, but not obsessed about it.
If Hasselblad doesn't come with a larger sensor CFV, my second choice is getting a used P25 back. My third alternative is switching all the way to the Mamiya 645 system. Third choice switching to the Hy6/Afi system (if my clients start paying triple for my fees).

I like film a lot, but the immediacy and the almost infinite possibilities of enhancing and fine tuning a digital file makes it harder and harder to shoot with it.

I enjoy so much my 5D that I daydream over and over on combining my "V" with a "D"

Regards
Eduardo

Would that be a VD system? I could understand that being infectious.

PS G'day there, George
 
Once you catch it, it will be there forever. No cure for photosis tremens.
Be careful Nick, it's pandemic.
