How did you get started with photography?

How would you describe your style?
"An image you make has to do something to you, otherwise it is no more than a picture,I try to put as much feeling in my images as possible."
What is the most important lesson you have learned from photography?
"Only make images that you really enjoy making, these are often
the images in which others recognize your signature."
