What Got You Into Photography — Gear, Moment, or Curiosity?

Hi everyone,


Thought I’d kick off a discussion with a simple question: What first sparked your interest in photography? Was it a particular camera, a specific moment, or just general curiosity?


For me, it started with an old Nikon compact my uncle handed down. I didn’t know much at the time, but capturing everyday life quickly became something I really enjoyed. Later, I got into editing and digital services, and photography ended up becoming a part of that journey.


Would love to hear your stories—whether you shoot with the latest gear or stick with the classics. Bonus if you’ve got a photo that started it all!


Looking forward to your replies.
