Lens: FA 85 & FA 77 Camera: K-1 & K-3 
Posted By: LeRolls, 12-31-2016, 06:52 PM

It was a crazy year for me. My brother moved away with his new wife and I lost my father in October.

Fascinating series! Could you please pick out a single photo for the "best in 2016" challenge? I'll move that to a separate thread for you, and leave the series intact under the "People" prefix

I picked one. You can change this thread to "people".

Thanks!

You're like the Pablo Escobar of pentax pixie dust. I was going to pick out the few that were my favorite but it ended up being 2/3 of the photos from your series...
