Hello! Long time lurker, short time poster here 
I've been on here since it was APUG, but had never been active. I've been lurking again for a couple of years now, and I'm feeling the drive to get active in photography again - so here I am. This does seem like a big, active community to be part of, I hope I'm right!
My dad was a photographer his whole life, both as a historian and curator and as an artist (painting, drawing, and photography were his things). That got me into the darkroom at about age 8, and it went from there. "My" first camera was a Minolta Autocord, given to me on permanent loan from dad. The first one I bought was a Pentax MX, and yes I still have both. I added a little more over the years, plus dad's gear - 35mm, MF, LF, darkroom stuff... I dabbled in Nikon for a few years at the end of my film phase, but eventually sold that stuff off and stuck with Pentax.
I've been purely digital for at least 10-12 years (since about the time I shot my last roll of Kodachrome, may it rest in peace) but want to get back into a hybrid mode now, as I start to find a little more free time. Shoot on film, scan to process and print digitally, that's my plan. There's a Fuji GW670iii that Dad only shot 46 rolls on, sitting downstairs waiting to be tested - it's calling me!
