Can't remember, but my first "professional" camera was/is a Nikon DSLR.
I'll be a student in January at the Philly A.I.; right now I work at WalMart for the holidays... :D
Outdoor/Nature, People, Snapshot
New Jersey, USA
99% photography. Otherwise, I like drawing, writing & spending time with loved ones.
Olympus FE-20 (it's small & cheap but I help it pack a punch)
I'd love to get a professional job as a photographer in the future.
For a long while, I had in mind that I needed a "professional" camera to take better photographs... But what I've learned is that it's the photographer, not the camera, that takes the shots. So I try to stick with manual operations on my Olympus (even though I'd still like to have better lenses for details & close-ups...).
I put most of my photography on <a href="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=51133037&albumId=2481476/">My MySpace</a> =]
Both my parents are photographers by profession. Growing up with them influenced me to take the same field they had. So far, I enjoy this job as much as they did. And I'll be building my own identity in this extraordinary job.
