I got my first camera when I turned 11, from the hands of a "less-than-favourite" aunt. A Minolta Autopak was in the box waiting for me. A very basic camera for a very young boy.
It was an out-of-this-world thing to have and I started snapping photos : my own face, toys, weird things I found. At that time it was hard to tell that I would have a camera with me, in one way or another, for the rest of my life.
