How did you first get into your main hobby? Was it a slow build or love at first try?

B Natural answer

I got into photography as a slow build. A friend showed me how to use a simple camera, and I liked the idea, but I didn't feel hooked right away. For the first few months, I just took random pictures on weekends. Then I started to make real progress, especially when I learned how to use light and framing. After that, the practice sessions felt less like homework and more like something I wanted to do. So for me, it was not love at first try. It grew little by little, and that made it stick.
