I have an old Nikon (it's around here somewhere) that I used to take a lot of prints - it was just cool to use, so I started snapping away one summer. Eventually my parents gave me an Rebel pro which I used briefly. But then I started working at my college paper - had a D30 and a D60 at my disposal, as well as a fine array of lenses. 800mm telephoto, beautiful sigma 15mm wide-angle ... that got me really interested in photography ... until I got practical with prices. And then I just kind of lost interest. I bought myself a Sony P8 this summer for ordinary stuff, but now I wish I had fancy equipment again.
