I think it happened when I was 11. My father was an eager amateur and my mothers mother was a professional photographer before WWII, and after a holiday where I had used an Instamatic my father stopped at one of my pictures and told me why the composition was good. After a few more comments like that I realized that this was something I enjoyed (and did better than my brothers). I got an Olympus 35RC at 14 and got the school darkroom for myself four hours a week the next year. At 16 I got a Pentax ME and joined a club, and from there it has been my main hobby.
