Memories... light the corners of my mind...

We didn't have a video camera when I was a kid. No one that I knew did -- probably until high school. Our family pics went on slides. And they were all ruined.

Nonexistent... We had a camcorder, but never really used it. I remember one video where we went to the Field Museum, and Dad bumped the glass on an exhibit trying to get a close picture. And yeah, that's about it.

None; we couldn't afford one at the time. Not a lot of photos, either; my parents rarely took then, and I was very camera-shy.

I was born in 1972. I see that based on the pole many of us are generation x'ers. My parents still have a vhs tape that was actually a super 8 originally. They later had it put on said vhs. I was probably 5 or 6 when they filmed it. Crazy thing was when I saw it for the first time I thought my dad was me all grown up. Spitting image of him back then. I guess he's not a bad looking guy. LOL

I'm the youngest of 9 and born in the 60's, I'm lucky if I have more than 5 pictures other than a school picture of me for every year.

Pictures in a box for years. There were no such things as camcorders when I grew up.

Kodak carousels and straight slide holders. Family slide show nights are a favorite memory of mine.

No movies. Slides. I bought a digital slide scanner from Woot in order to bring them to life once again. Will keep me busy on boring winter nights for years to come.

Pictures - in a box. Actually many boxes.

dad converted everything to dvd a few years back. yay

No movies--only pictures, and they are on the little 110 format, not 35 mm.

no moving pictures of me as a kid, plenty of photos on paper and slide format though

we never had any kind of video camera.

i was born in 1959. we have some crappy Polaroids and a few black and whites. Or rather, had. burglar tossed them out in the yard and destroyed them for no reason we could understand.

I doubt if there are any of me growin g up. Loads of pix but my parents weren't techno savy

Mom has a bunch of photo albums and slides. Some we digitized for their 50th anniversary. I also got into 8mm film as a teenager. Something to play with.

Where's other? My parents (thankfully) didn't make any home movies. We didn't own a camcorder. There are plenty of slides and photos though.

Memories should be stored in the mind until they are no longer useful

i'm poor, and have always been poor - there aren't any video's of my childhood - or even now... When will woot have an afordable video camera?

Infancy and early childhood on some 8mm format; after about age 11 or 12 on VHS.

There is no imagery of me before the age of six. Millions of photos of my sister, but none of me. My mother did have a super 8 movie camera, but she used it to film parades. Apparently she was a huge fan of parades. We had reels upon reels of silent color films of parades. There is something unpleasantly surreal about sitting in the dark, watching a marching band go by in total silence.
My sister inherited all of these, and what happened to them after her death, I do not know.

What movies?

WHAT HE SAID

I can't even count the reels of Super 8 film with my sisters and I growing up.

We have footage from many Disneyland trips in the 70s & 80s, lots of family reunions in the cabins by the lake, backyard dinner parties in Ventura, and much more. There's even some Three Stooges (8mm, not super 8) reel in the box with all our home movies. Not sure where that came from, but it's hilarious.

Anyway, yeah I still have all the home movie reels. I even have a working projector to show them on. A few years ago we had them all transferred to DVD cause the film itself is getting kinda fragile.

Every once in a while, I'll pull the projector out and play a couple. My 3 & 5 year old don't know what to think about the projector... it's fun.

Movie cameras were not a consumer item when I was growing up. There were 8mm cameras, but the price was out of the reach of my family. We have some old b&w Kodak box camera (120)photos, but even color film didn't get popular until I was in high school.

Lots of slides....my dad was into slides even after they we no longer cool. Same with B&W photos. Pretty much the only infant photos I've seen are B&W or studio. No videos at all. We never had a camcorder or any kind. We also have more random scenery photos that we do of our family from before my mom realised how few photos my dad actually took with people in them!

For me mostly VHS and some have been put on HDD but I am surprised not to have options for online storage or HDD

none exist

Hey, I'm the youngest. I don't think there are any photos, movies, etc. of me!
