Coming soon, but not looking forward to it. How did you deal with it? It might be time for me to grow a pony tail, get an earring, or maybe buy a sports car.

Well you get the camera shoved up the ass when you 40 so 50 seems easy. I don't look foreword to those days
 






It bothered me when I hit 25 and realized I'm a 3rd of the way through my expected life span.

Its not so bad. After all 50 is the new 40.

Just take better care of yourself.

Actually I'm looking forward to 55. Going to retire.

A few years ago.  Not a big deal, just another orbit around the sun.  Went to work as usual and didn't mention it to anyone there.  The good wife made me a nice dinner when I got home.

I like to shoot the wheels off wheelchairs.

I can't shoot all these guys by myself for Christ's sake, I post something like 300 times a week, there's not time for everything

 


I'd offer my assistance, but then beating you to 100k would be impossible.

I'm 54.......I find Middle-age VERY liberating.

But.......to handle it you MUST like the guy you see in the mirror!

If you DO NOT like the guy in the mirror....................enjoy your pony tail, earring and sports car.

The arms and AR are mine, not the tights. That was just for fun. I guess I'm not so depressed that I lost my sense of humor yet,so that's good. 50 still has me a bit on edge though.

Wonder peak, overlooking the continental divide in the second picture.  Only 9,900 feet above sea level, but its way higher than where I live! (600')  We were on the border of British Columbia and Alberta, south of Banff.

Not necessarily. I don't keep up with mine, and it takes me a second or 2 to do the math if somebody asks. It is just another day. More aches and pains, but I've been getting progressively creakier and more battered my whole life. It doesn't feel a hell of a lot different - your interest in doing stupid things (or anything at all) till all hours for days on end wanes in step with your ability to do so.
