It started with crayon scratchings on paper, went on to making my parents bankrupt over polaroids, harassed my mother until I recieved a cheap TLR for which I never had enough film, then a move on to real cameras in 1968. I take pictures of everything, harass people at work, images of my neighbors, total strangers, small bits of stuff, quite a bit of macro, whatever. Print sizes pretty much span the gap from 6.9X10 to 20X30 mostly done on an Epson but some outsourced Lightjet stuff. I do everything imaginable with my pictures, book jackets, annual report covers, some gallery shows, auction items for charities I care about, strewn all over the house sometimes even making it on the wall, gifts to friends, families, and acquintenances.
