I started photography at the age of 5 with a 126 instamatic camera, anyone remember those with the cassette film?, which was given to me by an auntie that used to work for Kodak Eastman.
When I was an early teenager I had a Balda Super matic1 which used to belong to my Grandad and which used to give great results and was a great learning tool.
I progressed as you do through various SLRs including the usual Prakticas and ended up with a Pentax MX.
I had a couple of compact digitals which converted me to digital photography and I now use a fabulous Canon EOS 450D with the kit 18-55mm lens which only gets used very occasionaly for its wide angle plus a 55-250mm 4.5-5.6 EFS, a 20mm 2.8 EF and the usual but superb 50mm 1.4 EF.
I love flickr so much, every time I view other peoples work I feel so inspired by the originality and quality of the photos here. In my opinion this site offers what must be the best of the web and true to the original ethos of the internet.

I am currently living in Helensburgh, Scotland but originate from London.

For viewing Flickr I use chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/iplbmjolljikncjboeofgmj... which is a really useful app with larger thumbnails and a black background amongst some of its many tricks.
