I started with a Rebel XT and 28-105 in late 2006, and here's the earliest photo I can find online, from November of that year. Some railroad tracks downtown Rochester, NY.

Pijuns in flight have evolved into a sort of a signature shot with me.
This is the first such shot I've made which I have on record. Done with 300D + 70-300 f/4-5.6 USM at 300mm.
All right, here's the first "keeper" (relatively) I had from my first DSLR (Dynax 7D, 18-70 kit zoom at 23mm), a "portrait" of my grandmother. If only I had known that she only had two more months to live... http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa262/snopchenko/PICT0023.jpg
Here is something more "artsy" as I probably thought back then. Still not much. With quite a bit of stretch, this can be called "BIF". http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa262/snopchenko/copy_of_PICT0516.jpg
And here's a couple shots from the first shoot among my DSLR archive that I feel should not be consigned to the Recycled Bin if I were to go through all these photos again HONESTLY. Judging by the file numbers, it only took me about 2400 photos (in a month or so) before I figured out I had to do something differently. Guess I was slightly livened up by the arrival of my first "proper" lens - one of the fabled Minolta Beercans. At least it gave me the first bit of control over the depth of field (having f/4 aperture) as seen in the second shot (at 75mm wide open). http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa262/snopchenko/PICT2406.jpg

This was my first ever PIF shot taken with a 30D and Bigma:
Picked up a D1 in 2003,but I still preferred to shoot film.I usually work and play in a salt water environment,so I generally didn't bring the D1 using it mostly for family shooting. I also had a few different digital P&S which I carried on the boats and derrick barges,but I usually had a few my old F3's,FM2n's or FE's on board as well.I jumped ship digitally from Nikon to Canon in 2008.I usually didn't take time to PP images back then and these were probably never PP'd.Some of these may have been P&S images.
