I have been taking pictures (as well as slides) since I was a kid (started back when I was about 10 or 12) of transportation subjects as my primary, but I am also the defacto shooter when at family get together's (just not with my own camera). Trains, Planes, Automobiles, military aircraft (WWII to current jets), and Great Lakes Shipping vessels, (ever seen a skyscraper in the "horizontal position")? I am also a model railroader in HO Scale (1:87 is the ratio, same as Matchbox or Hot Wheels cars)
