I have been making photos for about five years less than you. I am arthritic; I have had two back surgeries; I broke my neck three years ago and most joints that I own hurt all day. I can walk ( poorly ) and I can bend enough to shoot florals. I rely on my tripod a lot and auto-focus is a blessing from time to time. I'm not a famous photographer and no one pays me for my prints. I make photos because I love to and can. My photography has never been better. I am currently archiving my slides on digital media to pass on to my Sons so that their past is available for them and their children. I will next figure out how to make a web page and put my stuff out there in cyberspace for all to see ( and hopefully enjoy). I made it through a round or two of the Austrian Super Circuit last year and I will keep entering until I win! Why? Because I can! Hopefully You will too!
