To your camera point - I recently partook in a project a friend of mine is putting together involving 4x5 cameras, wherein she will take your portrait and in exchange you have to take hers even if you've never used a camera before. Getting a crash course in a real camera like that was a great experience and it's really turned me on to the whole idea of buying a camera like this or something more robust that will cause me to think about photography as a medium instead of just blasting pictures with my phone (which doesn't happen as is). It seems like a wonderful medium and the nuance of the technology is interesting, much unlike things like snapchat and instagram which I've always been a bit uncomfortable with. Not exactly sure why.
