[LRflex] Why?

Hi Flexers,

I was just curious to know why we picked up our, call it hobby, job or 
passion.

If I may start this thread with my own experience, my interest started 
during art classes at school, not that we took photos or spoke about 
photography, but the teacher would ask us to "frame" an interesting part 
of  a view we liked - whatever it was  - by forming a rectangle finder 
using our fingers. This is how I got interested in "framing". 

Consequently, and being very clumsy at painting, I worked during the 
holidays to buy myself a second hand BW lab and a much used Foca (French 
Leica clone)
After many a night spent in the lab, I progressively got interested in 
colour - slides came up "cheap" for I had had the opportunity to buy an 
impressive out of date but still usable stock of K25 from a supermarket 
(some of you will remember the "cloth" envelope with its strings :-D ).

Then life went on, with its ups and downs. But with a(ny) camera still 
either round my neck, or within arm's reach - I must confess a couple of 
years' video fit when the kids got born though.

I missed the lab - Iflfomar/brome - and K25 until I recently went 
digital and the magic of PS, LR, Spix and more. And as someone on the 
list wrote once, I now feel like a kid again wanting to experiment and 
shoot everything. Well, I guess the virus is still there then.

What about you?

Yours
