Hi Y'all
Hello everyone. I have been a Pentax fan for easily 25 years, and have enjoyed photography as a hobby since my teenage days (and that was a long time ago!).
 Unfortunately, due to time demands, I was forced to push my hobbies to the "back burner" for a number of years, and now that I'm retired, I'm looking to get back behind the lens to see how much my talents have suffered.  I'm located just outside of New Orleans in the surburbs, and am looking forward to be back discussing photography with people who have the same interests. John

Thanks, John

D B, If you haven't seen my response over on the DSLR forum, I was able to pick up a *ist DL w/kit lens and flash from someone on this board. Right now, I'm feeling like a kid at Christmas, and having fun just learning the camera. I'm beginning to get comfortable with the controls and will soon try experimenting with my collection of Pentax film lenses. Hopefully, within a few days or weeks, I'll have some shots worthy of posting here.
John
