Dear all
I came across this forum while searching for a Pentax camera body to go with my quite old lenses. Since registering I have groped around trying to pick up how, who, what, and which way I should progress. It seems to be quite a friendly place to visit, with much to view and helpful advice freely available. I hope to pick a few brains shortly!
My background in photography stretches back to the eighties when I first picked up a Pentax K1000 which my younger brother had left lying around.
Once bitten by the 'bug' I progressed to owning a Super A body and picking up the odd lens when I could afford it.
My interests are mainly reportage and portraiture, but as you can see I'm from the Black & White school, having at one time my own home darkroom. Since the family arrived my photography had to be put away, given the cost factor etc. but I still kept going with the family album and snapshots using a handy little Nikon which could fit in the pocket.
I'm now approaching my sixtieth birthday and the family have suggested that a new camera would make a suitable present.
The juices are starting to flow again and with the advent of the digital age I now hope to get out there again and see if I still have the 'eye'.
Below are a few examples of my work.
Regards ~ appy
