That K-20D is a nice camera isn't it, Rick? Nice photo!

One of one of my nephew's. I should have stepped a little more to the right to avoid the piece of cheek just on the other side of his nose. But it's a quick shot during a cookout.

Nice image, but wondering if you could comment on the photo, particularly the graininess--artistically intentional or something else?

Thank you. This was taken inside my house in 1979 with a Pentax MX and the M1.7 50mm if I remember correctly. It is a slide, but since there wasn't much light, the grain shows on this very early rather poor scan of 1200 dpi. I had to take this surreptitiously in order to capture a relaxed 'pose'. The grain was not intentional, but the result of circumstance.

My friend Bill who does lots of heavy lifting around my home. This shot was taken with the K5ii and one of my favorite and least expensive lenses, the Pentax-M 50 mm f 1.7, which never ceases to please.

Higher ISO than I'd have preferred but ...

What the heck.
