Yes, pretty amazing. If I'm really honest, I didn't think I could do it. And now I am just doing it. It doesn't feel awkward to shoot photos daily, like it did in the beginning. It basically feels a lot more natural now.

I don't have a camera and my cell phone camera is not good!
If you want to take photos, the quality of your gear doesn't really matter. Any camera can be used to learn composition and perspective.
The truth is no-one is going to take breathtaking bird photos from the first day they are starting to shoot photos, no matter how many thousands or tens of thousands dollars, euros or whatever they invest in their gear.
One needs to learn the basics first, and any camera will teach you those, even a crappy cellphone camera.
Oh, and if you know what you are doing, even a crappy cellphone camera will produce quite decent images.
When I was just starting to learn photography, I watched quite a few photography videos on YouTube, and came across many (by such photographers as Jared Polin, Dom Bower, Tony & Chelsea Northrup among others) that talked about starting up, and particularly about the misconception beginner photographers have about gear, and how it magically makes their photos better. And how such notions are simply not true.
One series in particular I found interesting, was the DigitalRev TV's humorous "Pro Photographer, Cheap Camera Challenge" that actually made me understand that basically any camera can be used to take good photographs. I actually recommend you watch some episodes to get the idea!
Maybe you'll find it inspiring. :) Feel free to check out the other linked people too.
