I haven't brought Reisen out in a minute, truthfully. The last couple of weekends I've either been busy or its been raining, so I haven't really had a chance to go out anywhere

The mud cleaned up very well, which I was the most happy about. I thought for sure it'd stain the white parts, but I didn't have any of that

My camera is firmly in the "it gets the job done" category. I've still got a ways to learn with it, but I'm having a good time.
Photography is a funny hobby, because I feel like it isn't so much the shooting that you enjoy, but rather everything around it. Going out somewhere new and exploring is fun, and you tend to look at things a very different way when you're trying to compose a shot too. It definitely makes you appreciate your surroundings at the very least. Photography is also a good excuse to indulge in other hobbies. I'd never have bought a doll if I didn't to take picture of it, stuff like that. Chasing gear is also a big trap that people fall into, so as long as you avoid the thought of "I can't shoot this because I don't have X lens" as much as you can, there is a lot of fun to be had.
I'm also not very good at photography, I treat it as a fun little hobby that I can slowly explore and improve at

I bought both my body and my lens as refurbished items, which cut the cost down massively. I'd recommend that if you're looking to get a camera and tight on money
