I'm curious to hear about everyone's photographic beginnings. How old were you when you decided that photography was your passion? What was THE moment when you were hooked? Was it a photo you saw or a photo you took or a course at school?
For me, it started about 9 years ago when I bought a roll of b&w film for my old canon p&s. I had seen a b&w shot of a child running in the park and I clumsily recreated it with my daughter. It came out awful but the other photos I took that day were better. A few were wonderful. I still have them framed on my wall. They are technically poor, I know now, but there is just something about them that I love. That following Christmas my then husband gave me a D60 kit and I was hooked for good. Working full time and being a single parent quickly put a dent in any hobby time. Finally, the past year or two I have been able to put some time into it and I am really enjoying learning.
