I've been into photography since I was young. I suppose you could say it's in my blood since both my father and grandmother worked for Kodak in the Philippines. I've only taken one photography class and that was back in high school. Other than that, most of my practice has been just to go out there and shoot. I'm an old-school kind of guy when it comes to photography. Even though I enjoy the advantages of my digital camera, I still love my Nikon FM2N. Nothing beats the feel of real metal in your hands or hearing the clicking of the film advance.
