I typed up my 27 page story for submission.......had Otis take a good look at it. Otis advised that it didn't hold the attention of a single Squirrel in his Million Squirrel Army for more than five seconds, and that it would be in the best interest of mankind if it never saw the light of day.
I never argue with Otis!
I do however, enjoy the stories of others, some are quite interesting!

Best Regards!

Just an update- we haven't posted a Pentaxian story in a while! If there are any more pros out there who would like to share their stories, speak up

Well, I attended a photography class when I was 10. At that time I (my dad) had a Yashica Fx-7 SLR and I didnt know much about other camera brands, only Canon and Kodak. In that class, for the first time I heard about the brand "Pentax", actually at that time it was "Asahi Pentax".

My photography life had to be paused when my Yashica SLR broke. After I got a job, I was looking for buying a camera, a DSLR. My boss was going to sell his 1 year used DSLR and it fit my budget. So finally, I became a happy owner of a Pentax camera, a Pentax K20D.

For an old guy just coming back to a hobby this could be quite inspirational! Great idea!

Going to give this thread a little bump. We just posted our first Pentaxian profile of the year, and I hope to hear from more of you guys soon- we know you're out there!

If you'd like in, please PM me a draft of original autobiographical blog post, and we'll take it from there! Here are examples of posts about photographers that have been featured in the past:

And yes, a little bit of diversity would be great! Looking forward to hearing back!

Hello,
My name is Marlena, Lena for short, and my website is lenamaxphotography. I shoot exclusively with Pentax, and my message is that it is every bit as good as one of those "other" cameras that seem to get all of the attention. My camera happens to be a K10D, which I bought on the forum from a pro in 2008. I had researched the heck out of various DSLRs, and what struck me was most was that pros who could shoot with newer models were still hanging on to their D10s because they "shot like film." The backward lens compatibility combined with in-camera anti-shake (not in the lens! Wow!) won me over . I still shoot with this same camera. I love it, but I also firmly believe that images are made, not taken.

My favorite work is conceptual portraiture. I would like to apply for the pentaxian feature, but like some of the others, cannot figure out the PM feature. The forum has changed a bit since I was last active! My website is lenamaxphoto.com, and I would like to apply.

I love when the client asks you what kind of camera you use.

My normal response is better glass than all your friends.

Do a story/presentation of Kenneth Sporsheim. Kenspo on this forum. He's a norwegian rock/concert/music photographer.
In a world of Canikon, he's a Pentax guy. He's doing it for a living and is sponsored by Pentax.

I want become a photographer when i was in germany 2012-2013 i started with the smartphone but when i comingback to honduras i knew i need to buy a camera and i buy the pentax k-x and started to learn photography.
