Knowing that a goodly percentage of the UHH membership are over 60, I wanted to find out if any of you have encountered this problem, and if so, how you resolved it.
I have finally gotten to the age where I could afford some good photographic equipment, but the Universe has a sense of humor, and whilst it now gives me the equipment I always wanted, it took away the physical ability to fully use and enjoy it. Specifically I speak of the terrible feeling of vulnerability I have in going out alone to parks, nature areas, and reserves to photograph, the fear of being robbed, and the fear of falling and not being able to get back up.
Certainly I cannot be the only geezer who has felt these fears, so how do the rest of you handle them? I will be grateful for all thoughts and suggestions.

I understand your concerns. You might try MACRO photography. So much of it, you can do in your own backyard or even at home in the house. Go to the grocery store or flower shop and buy some different flowers and try some MACRO photography. Check out the Mike Moates Macro facebook page.
Check out other MACRO information on YOUTUBE - tons of good ideas.
