I'm mostly interested for those ages 40 and over....but anyone can answer if you wish

I only have a few minutes of me (I'm 48). all black and white of course. I only have about 10 pictures of me before age 10. Only 1 picture of me as an infant, and about 5 as a toddler.

sorry about the "old timer" line.... it was tongue in cheek of course....50 is the "new" 40!!! yeah!

Answer 1

I guess I meet the old-timer criteria either way, since I turned 53 last Saturday.

There were some home movies at one time, "super-8" or something?, they were absolutely hilarious, everyone's motions looked "speeded up"; we loved to run them backwards. I have no idea what ever happened to them, or what we'd be able to view them with now even if they turned up somewhere. (Sort of like 8-track tapes in that way.) I think I'm the only one left in my family who even remembers we had them.

Photos ... there may be a dozen, not counting school pictures, and like yours they are mostly black and white.

Answer 2

Yes, I have, Iam 60. I cried when I looked at my self when I was only 1 or baby or 2, infant anyway. I say to myself :"I never be like that anymore", I amaze how time change me and times given me minute by minute until today.
Yes it is black and white picture.
When the picture was taken in a studio, I always looked scared and sure I look as if I cried before. My mum said she always twisted me because I was scared. At that time the photographer used to cover his head with black cloth behind the camera. But outside the studio I always look nice and cheery. I have movie of me when I was 5-6 , but cant see it again. It was fun to look at it , isn't it?

Answer 3

My grandfather was always the first to have any new product, so he had a movie camera before anyone else I knew. The thing is, he never quite got the hang of things. We crack up at the movies because he would land on a subject for a few seconds, then jerk the camera to something else. He did catch my first belly flop off a high dive, but you miss the rescue because he came in the water to rescue my crybaby self.It almost makes you dizzy to watch. He was Ronco's favorite customer. He had every slice and dice it gadget they put on TV ads. He kept a notebook next to his recliner, lest he miss a deal. I am 57 but I am not old, Bran Man! We had most of the old movies put on DVD's, but we still have the projector. My cousin worked for a local studio, and he took many pictures, but my favorite childhood picture was of me on a poor old Shetland pony that this guy would walk around neighborhoods and he had a little vest, chaps and a cowboy hat to put on the kids. It was probably all of $3.00 at the time. I was about five for mine, and I fell in love with horses for life.

Answer 4

I'll be 40 in December. I have many old photos, and the family has a small archive of my uncle's home movies from the early to mid 1970's.

Answer 5

I was the first so I used to have a lot. I had my uncle make me a vcr of one of the old black and white roll type camera. I was twisting to some kind of music. It made me laugh but then It made me sad/happy to see my loved ones who have crossed over. It was of Christmas when I was about 5 and my brother was 'bout 3. I'm not ready to be 50! oh well...and here we go...

blessed be
