![]() I might yet get some 'cred' from my grandson for my collecting activities! He thinks that his grandad is a bit of a nerd with lots of vintage cameras, but he was surprised when I told him that I had met Hollywood star Jason Momoa (I had never heard of him before) at the auction in Wetzlar last weekend and that Jason was also a collector of old Leicas and brass lenses. My grandson works in the software industry developing apps and so anything to do with digital processing of data is a challenge to be overcome in the most efficient way possible. It's an interesting world for the young these days. At the same time there is another group of young people who want to do things more slowly by using film. Companies in the digital imaging business need to to tune into that. His generation fully understands anything digital, but they always seek to use it in the quickest and most efficient way to achieve their objectives. He belongs to the generation that prides itself in doing the minimum necessary in order to achieve anything that they want to do. I was thinking of what my grandson, aged 25, might say, that's all. I’m not sure what you think 25 year olds do differently - can you elaborate? Most people, including 25 year olds, don’t do serious photography (ie with a camera!) so have no need or wish to be involved in uploading, editing, or filing other than in iCloud. TBH I didn’t think my workflow was particularly slow or inefficient! I also use my phone for social media (like now), especially for photography - but not Leica photography because FOTOS is slow and inefficient. ![]() So at 73, I might become a 25 year old as regards workflow. However, with various aspects of photography admin that I am involved with now I find that I have less and less time for my own photography. I save my photos in folders organised by year. I have a workflow which I have used for many years, with some variations, mainly using Lightroom and occasionally some Photoshop. Their phone to social media is their workflow, unless they are also shooting some film as some 25 year olds do these days. Not a hassle to you, but they are always in a hurry. Paul, say that to a 25 year old and see what reaction you get.
