I started photographing when I was working for IBM and wanted something to do with my daughter. I enjoyed it so much that I printed all my photos in a wet darkroom including color photographs which had to be done in a Tank. The chemicals were toxic and I had to wear a mask and rubber gloves and keep a window open. Today I do everything digitally. You just have to learn how to use the software and understand what you want the photo to look like when it is finished.
