I was 18 years old, I had just successfully finished my final exams for school and my parents had coincidentally decided to buy a camera (point and shoot) that week for the upcoming holidays. I tried theirs and after an hour I was hooked, I loved 'framing' shots and playing with perspectives, showing generic subjects in a new way, and because I felt like I deserved a present because I had finished secondary school I want to the store that same day and bought the exact same camera as my parents had :D Within a year I had my first small exhibition at my university which is when I wanted to go bigger and bought my first DSLR :-)
