I've never seen age differential as a problem, I suppose because my father was born in 1882 and was hale and hardy for all but the last year of his life - filled with ideas and able to lead a small business through large changes in its fundamental business. But it seems to be the case that there is a desire for homogeneity in business these days rather than seeing that a mix of ages, races and cultures is GOOD for a business - adding not only diversity in point of view but making for a vibrant culture so going to work can be interesting. On a lighter note perhaps they found out Brian still uses FILM and actually developes his images himself. Not to mention uses ancient Leica technology that doesn't even autofocus! Clearly anyone who uses equipment like this for any reason can't be compatible with a high-technology corporate culture of youth and activity. Sheesh. It's hard to joke about this really although I am hoping maybe Brian smiled a little.
