I started shooting in high school, i.e. early 1990s, with a 110 camera. I upgraded to 35 mm when my grandfather gave me an old Yashica MG-1. Eventually I shifted to digital for casual stuff, via an inexpensive point-and-shoot, and a Canon Rebel G for the big stuff. I later upgraded the digital P&S but found my photography shoots were coming less and less often.

In 2009, I began dating a fellow photography lover, and realized how much I had missed going out shooting. I upgraded to a Canon EOS Rebel T1i dSLR, which replaced both my film and digital cameras. With a new camera that combined the freedom of digital with the awesomeness of an SLR, I quickly rediscovered my love of photography.

As for what I shoot? Lots of casual stuff of my house, animals, sweetie, etc, of course. I also love shooting "scapes": landscapes, seascapes, "skyscapes", etc, animals, insects, flowers/plants/trees, and buildings, especially historical ones or ones with unusual architecture.
