I got my first camera from my Granny when I was 7, and I've been hooked ever since.  It was one of those old 60's era 120 cameras that has the viewfinder in the top, so you had to look down to see the image as you photographed it. I still have some of the pictures I took with that camera. They are some of my most prized possessions, because they document the start of my obsession.
