As a member of the under-18 on DPC, I've started noticing lately that there seems to be some resentment from over-18 members regarding those of us who are not the age of majority. Is this just me, or are there people out there who have a problem with kids and teens being members of a site like DPC?
I don't mean to raise any backs, or start any heated arguments or debates, in general I have always been interested in how adults deal with and except (or not except) teenagers and kids as equals. So please everyone (under-18 or over) please leave any comments you see fit!
Thanks,
Lee

I think there's a great resentment for anyone who starts hurling name-calling and insults around the forums.
And we 'accept' minors for what they are - learning. None of us are perfect, it's just that most of us don't learn that til we're 20.

Ditto... and it's not always the juveniles who are guilty of juvenile behavior... :)

Well I don't know about anyone else, but I've never grown up anyway!
Here are a some good quotes:
A child prodigy is one with highly imaginative parents.

Everyone is in awe of the lion tamer in a cage with half a dozen lions - everyone but a school bus driver.

Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.
George Bernard Shaw
A torn jacket is soon mended; but hard words bruise the heart of a child.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
It should be noted that the games of children are not games, and must be considered as their most serious actions.
Michel de Montaigne
There are three ways to get something done: (1) Do it yourself. (2) Hire someone to do it for you. (3) Forbid your kids to do it.
Unknown
Human beings are the only creatures on Earth that allow their children to come back home.
Bill Cosby
The first half of our life is ruined by our parents and the second half by our children.
Clarence S. Darrow
Ah, the patter of little feet around the house. There's nothing like having a midget for a butler.

I haven't been to tis site for a while-(been busy)-but it sounds like I've missed something. What difference does age make with regard to a photograph?

You didn't miss anything too important. And to answer your question, it doesn't.

I'd say that two at least of the most intersting photographers, and certainly two of the most committed contributors to this site are 'minors'. And a wonderful thing that is too. I'm just envious of their maturity (in general) and of their ability - wish I'd had anything like this oppotunity at their age...
well, maybe I did, and it was certainly the making of me, and it's a small part of what makes this such a great place overall that they're here as absolute equals with the rest of us.

Well I for one can say that for an under 18 type, Lee (Spanish Grease) has helped me quite a lot with understanding more about exposure, shutter speeds and aperture values than anyone else
Keep up the good work Lee, I for one appreciate you

The only difference I can fathom is that an 18-year-old can touch touch essence as readily as anyone, but no one would expect him/her to be able to do it with conviction.
When a fifty-year-old does the same thing, he should do it with conviction. |

| What about Rackat? She was only 4 when she won 2 blues, 2 reds and a yellow. |

Holy crap, Rackat isn't actually four is she?
I couldn't even aim when I urinated when I was four. Not too mention take breathtaking photos.

I am in complete agreement with both of these comments.

| I thing often, young people (kids or teens) 'see' what many adults might miss. I often take my kids along on shoots and they often draw my attn. to things I would have missed otherwise. Of course now they all want cameras to take their own shots. (Unknown to them still they will be getting them for Christmas). I think people from different age groups, countries, perspectives ect, can only serve to help us all 'see' the world around us a little more. |
