I've known for a while now that this day would come. However I didn't know when, where, or to whom.
Well today (actually yesterday, I just got in) was the day. I took on a student.
And not just any student, a 9 year old girl, who has a better eye than most professional photographers living in this area.
Here's a couple samples of what she shot tonight. Sorry they're all shot on my Sigma but more on that later.
My original plan was to loan her my K100D for a while, however I changed my mind.
Since I rarely use it, and her and her family have nothing I decided to pass the torch, as in most of my Pentax system to her.
This is of course, with the understanding that I can use it whenever I need it.
She's already done the best portrait of me that I've ever seen, along with a beautiful one of her mom.
Since I didn't have any portable media with me I couldn't bring them home to share, however that'll change when I see her on Saturday.
As a result I no longer own, or shoot with a Pentax body. Although I still own some manual focus, and screw mount lenses which I use on my Sigma.
Considering the circumstances I hope that I'm still allowed to post the odd photo here and there.
