Hi Chris,
I started shooting black and white film on my father's Pentax 35mm SLR when I was 16 or 17. Developed the film, too.
Then, moved on to coloured film, but, nothing exotic.
Along came the digital revolution and I jumped on board. I've come full circle now as I've been shooting Astia, Velvia, ACROS and XP2 in 120 format.
Just this weekend I shot parts of a wedding (during formals) in ACROS.
