Author Topic: How old are you? A poll on the ages of microstockers (Read 38262 times)

I've always wondered how old some of the fellow photographers on here are. Some sound quite wise while other sound immature. Just want to get some of an idea if everyone is in the same age group. Thought it would make for a nice subject.

what means amateur and pro? is there a earnings minimum, or full time is pro? or its our feeling??

donding · « **Reply #2 on:** August 10, 2010, 18:16 »

I consider pro someone who makes their living off of microstock. This day and age, that is very difficult, but there are ones who do it.

EDIT>>>>>I guess I should say a pro is someone who makes their living off of photography in general not just microstock.

There are only few photographers here who make their living only out of microstock. So, the poll will show mostly amateurs. Maybe it would be better if we say that "pro's" are simply people who live only out of photography business, and amateurs the rest . This way we could see what percent of real photographers we have here.

make it even more simple turn the pro or amateur off

once there must be a lot of microstockers that have very nice income and have another job..

I edited it. I realized what I said after I posted it. You can go back and change your vote is you want. I must have been typing it while you were posting.....Love the new Avatar by the way...

I'm in all the age groups ...

Dreamframer · « **Reply #7 on:** August 10, 2010, 18:42 »

Thanks!
BTW, the poll is a great idea. I was asking myself the same question for some time already. How many amateurs and pros we have here, and what age.

I've wondered this for a long time. It's really kinda interesting looking at the poll as it stands right now.

It's because only 27 users are online, and those 27 are checking the page from time to time...like I do

much more middle aged than I expected, I thought there might have been representation among retirees and 20's uploading

Clivia · « **Reply #22 on:** August 11, 2010, 02:09 »

I was expecting the vast majority to be between 20 and 30. You guys come across as young!
