A friend had an old 35mm SLR with him on a trip that we took and I thought it looked cool. When he got the photos developed I thought they looked cool too. That's all most of my hobbies boil down to, desu.

To get more out of the world. Biking is more enjoyable, walks are more enjoyable and I actually have a reason to go out. I also want to see more during the trips to have cool photos.
It's also a creative hobby, however good or bad I am at it.

My father had 35mm camera and all the equipment to develop film. When I was a kid I had a lot of fun playing with all that stuff. He showed me how to use manual film camera and I used to take pictures when we were going on holiday. I guess all that planted a seed because when I turned 16 I've got really hooked on photography taking pictures with digital point and shoot so my father bought me Canon 400D. Unfortunately I'm socially disabled so I didn't managed to turn my hobby into career as I wanted. But I feel like I'm still improving and growing as photographer so at least something is going right.

Basically this. I have good taste though, so photography suits me. Also, having an interest in history helps. I often find myself walking down a street, visualising the various layers of development and how they interplay with each other. I feel like that helps my eye in some intangible way.

It’s just fun. I surprise myself when I take a good photo because I’m not naturally a confident person. Getting a perfect shot or getting the colors right on an edit always has me telling myself, “Wow! Good job!”

When I went on a trip to Japan in high school, and only had disposable cameras while my classmates had digital cameras. When I got back home, I was sad I didn't have better photos to remember things by.

I got a camera a bit after the trip and have enjoyed it since.

Konica used to make a bunch of cameras. They merged with Minolta in 2003 to form Konica-Minolta, which still exists today mostly as a company that sells copiers and shit. They sold their combined camera business to Sony in 2006.

So, the Konica camera company today is basically Sony, hence >>3885112's comment.

A friend who skated back in the day asked me if I could videotape him with my dads old ass digital camcorder. I did it and on my way home I noticed that it had a photo function. I played around with it trying to get some interesting and aesthetic shots and noticed I had some serious fun doing that. That was the starting point for me.
The videotaping of my friends skating wasn't even too much fun or interesting to me. Ironically the photo function was way more fun to me.

I love seeing the world from others perspectives (constrained to what they can do with their cameras). It makes me want to see if I can do something that impacts others the same way.

You ever look at a photograph and stare at it thinking, "god damn. I really really like this photo".

i dont care if my images come out blurry or sharp or if i dont come across anything worth taking a pic of
its a way to get away from the stress of work or family and just relax by myself
