I've always played with cameras.
When I was a kid, my dad let me borrow (read: play with) his old Nikon SLR... I'd shoot rolls and rolls of film, playing with focus and composition, and waiting anxiously for my photos to show up again in the bins at Costco.
I took photography in high school, and discovered the wonders of the darkroom and black and white photography... my dad built me a darkroom of my very own, in the guest bathroom at my parents house.
I had one of the first widely available digital cameras, a Nikon CoolPix 880 (or was it 850?) It's so old I can't find a photo of it on the entire internet! I just looked.
I paid $1200 for all 1.2mp of it!
In 2006, Jamie bought me my first DSLR, a Nikon D50, which came with an 18-55mm lens and because it was part of a kit, it also came with a 55-200 lens, which I basically never use.
The reason I'm blabbing on about photos? I've started a new blog, for photos specifically. I'm doing an online course with 2Peas to improve my photography; updating my skillset to utilize digital more, and just trying to get back into it and regain the knowledge I've lost to time (the almost 16 years since high school...)
