The 'hipster' is primarily an American phenomenon, so you may not encounter them in Ireland. They don't 'bother' me; I am simply concerned that they may usurp the role of 'film photographer', and that the novice may copy them and their lack of deep knowledge of film photography. The 'hipster' doesn't know much except how to imitate. Everything is a 'fashion statement'. The hipster is a 'poser'. I'm sure that we have a few people in Ireland that might be described that way , but what they do or don't do does not concern me. Your obsession with 'hipsters' is not something that I can comprehend. In our little camera collecting and film using group here in Dublin we have a man who has been a professional photographer since 1959, a retired public servant who also collects vintage cars, a woman artist and photographer who likes doing wet plate work, a man who worked all his life in the motor business and who now does CLA work on cameras, a man who is just about at retirement age and likes buying and using anything old, including brass telescopes and old watches as well as old cameras and myself aged 72 who started by collecting old Leicas, but then moved on to other makes. As well as being involved in 2 Leica societies, I am also a member of the Photographic Collectors Club of Great Britain (PCCGB) who are mainly on the other side of the Irish Sea, but I am in touch with them on a regular basis by Zoom. Occasionally we also have people from the US, Australia and European countries on our Zooms. The PCCGB group would largely fit in the same age group and description as our little group here in Dublin. None of them could be described as a 'hipster'. I would not be as hard on you as 250swb was, but you need to look around a bit more and not obsess about hipsters. There is a much broader community, young and old, using film cameras and enjoying the experience. William 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, how are Barry, John, Eamon, Jim, and Charles doing? Have you drunk the unfortunate cup of tea? Where is Oats?

He's a photographer, a 'real' photographer, not a pretender. The actor did make some mistakes in handling the camera and darkroom equipment if you watch closely. A counter-example, if you will.
