I've been taking pictures on and off since the age of eight - that's a lo-o-n-n-n-n-g time ago! First camera was a Kodak Brownie 127 bakelite. I remember asking our neighbor's son to reload the camera after each roll was exposed. My first 35mm camera was a used Argus C3 "brick," bought from one of those perpetual "Going Out of Business" stores in New York City. "Oh, you just want the camera shown in the window for $9.98 - not the accessory case? Well, we don't sell cameras without cases."

Now I am using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 after an auction purchase Fuji S3 Pro became completely unreliable (perils of eBay) - a shame as it has a superb sensor. Also use assorted vintage cameras for 35mm and medium format. Very interested in lo-fi, Polaroid, and pinhole photography.

From looking at all the great work on Flickr, I think the right camera can add that secret ingredient to a composition. Sharpness and depth of field are not the whole story.
