Young Photographers not sure where to put this question either... I'm Paul and I'm very nearly 14. I'm interested in photography, and have taken quite a few photos, but havent sold any or done anything professional with any of them. I'm just wondering if there's more 'young' photographers around my age and what you've accomplished/done with your photo's, what camera you use etc. Respond here if you are around this age. Loking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks, Nobi. That's the one I meant to post. Don't know what happened. Paul, ignore my first post. It's the wrong thread. (Heck, if I was young I would have done it right the first time. LOL)

Hey what's up Paul? I'm 16 and currently shoot with a Digital Fuji S3000, need to upgrade here soon. Looking into, as Katrina said, a digital SLR.(I'm lookin at the Digital Rebel XT from Canon) Well anyways, there are plenty of teen photogs out here, just ask around and make some contacts, welcome to the BP teen family! lol. I gotta go, geometry calls(*growl*) Aloha and I'll talk to ya later! ~Dave P.S. The main thing I've found a problem on betterphoto is keeping in touch with everyone! So ya might consider setting up a folder in your mailbox for Betterphoto.(that's what I've done and it seems to work pretty well.)

O, I'm sorry, forgot something. As for what I've done with my photograpy thus far. I'm working on deals for inventory photography for currently 4, possibly soon-to-be 5 web-based stores. I am also published in Visions of Memories(2001-2002 I think?) and the newest book(they're working on the title) by the International Library of Photography. More recently I made it into the semi-finals(for a cash prize) in a contest from picture.com(same company). Phew. I looked at your gallery as well, you have some bery nice shots there, I love the one of the mirrored sky! Keep up the great work. ALOHA ~Dave

Hey Paul! I'm almost 15(one more month!) I really haven't done much with my photos yet, but soon I plan on entering them in more(reall) contests. I've been photographing for about 5-6years, but just in the last year have been getting really serious with it. My camera is the Sony F828 which is a like-DSLR. I really wish that I had gotten the Canon DRebel though, as they were about the same price when I got mine. So see ya around! David, isn't geometry just evil!

I also thought that algebra was bad! Now it seems a whole lot easier! I got my F828 not last Christmas but the one before, so for just a little over a year. It's a really nice camera, I just wish I had gotten a DSLR for the bigger sensor and not being limited by a fixed lens.

Hey all! Paul, welcome to PB! It is an amazing place to learn all you can a about photography! Talk to the more experienced people, and you can just soak up all they can offer! Mr. Kerry Walker, for example. I think he is the person who most hekped get me started. (Thanks, Kerry!) Well, I am - as of yesturday - officially 15. Yee-haw! Anyways. I have I have been doing photography for about two years, I think (see Kerry, we all forget stuff; you just forget more! LOL), and have loved every minute. I was serious about it until last June, probably, then I hit the ground running. I have done two weddings - one on my own, one with a friend - and am now working on a yearbook. The weddings were so much fun, and I got sooo many good photos for my portfolio. Great experience. However I might like weddings, my passion is in nature photography. As too Alegebra... I love it! I am good at math, and really enjoy alegebra. I can't wait to do Alegebra 2 over the summer. I'm nuts, I know. Well, I will ttyl! By His Grace and For his Glory, Elizabeth C.

Heck, I remember Moses when he was in short pants! Seriously, I am not as old as I proclaim to be but I won't tell my real age because it would ruin a lot of my jokes. However, I will say that I am probably a little closer to your grandmother's age than your mom's, unless you are the baby of the family. My kids are 10 and 20 but I got a really late start.

Thanks so much, guys! My event turned out great. I didn't do so much of the actual photography, but more filled out order forms and wrote reciepts and such. Sure got muddled when several people kept changing their orders...whew! Hope your Valentines Banquet goes well, Elizabeth! Wouldn't it be great if you picked up a few more wedding to do!!! Have a great weekend!

Hi fellow young photographers! I just joined bp about two months ago and the whole time I was wondering if I was the only young one here until I found this thread. And boy was I in for a surprise that there are so many. I'm 17 btw. I shoot with a Canon Rebel XT. I have't done anything with my photos yet like sell them. I see you all haven't responded for quite a while so I don't know if anyone will respond now but it's worth a try. So long for now! All of your galleries are amazing!

I used to be a young photographer...in 1954 when I got my first box Brownie! I think Adrienne Maldini does some great stuff (she's probably 15 now) http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/gallery.php?memberID=136494 and another mate of mine on BP is 13 year old Paul Vaartjes from Down Under, like me (maybe he's 14 by now) at http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/free/bio.php?memberID=152948

You ask what does it say with those big ol' letters? The guy named Namesnik(if that's real) was listing his accomplishments with getting published. I was saying that filling him in on Internation Society of Photographers, as well as picture dot com, would do him a favor. He might not want to hear it, but better for him if he does. This thread was started a while ago, so mute point now. Use the search up there for picture.com or ISP to get other threads about it. No need to read the one that's about 350 replies, the shorter ones can fill you in.

Congrats, Brandon. We must be closer in age than I realized. Do you plan on doing anything special? My photography is going ok... haven't been doing much lately due to school; this year is a heavy load. However, I have four people interested in seniors; three for summer '07, the other for next year - '08. That is very exciting. I am going to ask two if my friends to be on and off models so I can get some portrait practice. Also, teh Professional Photographers of NC annual convention is coming up in March and Tony Sweet is going to be there. I cannot wait! I so admire his work, and can't wait to ttake his class. Macro is still my favorite. I am liking people more and more, though. Anyways. I am very excited about this next year; a lot of things happening. Thanks for posting, peeps.
Elizabeth C.
