This guy sparked my passion for photography:

we met in capoeira class in obz during my tertiary days and sparked off a friendship. i knew he was a photographer and i was interested in learning, so one day i asked him to advise me on which digital camera i should buy that would suit an amatuer like myself. he looked at me with disgust (he's not too keen on digital photography). he told me i won't learn about photography using a digital camera and asked me why i want to spend thousands of rands on equipment that's constantly changing, with more features, more pixels, "better quality" etc. when the mechanical process has worked for decades.
in short the end result was him borrowing me his spare nikon fm2 slr film camera.
this is one of two shots i managed to scan in (the only ones i thought were good at the time) from my second spool using the nikon. the first spool was blank- i didn't load properly :)
