Hello from the desert

larklatroy · 10-04-2014, 01:13 PM

Hi folks, my name is Lark LaTroy, resident of the desert southwest in Phoenix Arizona. (Yes, ha ha, its a dry heat) Been shooting with Pentax gear now since the mid 70's, love it. Still can't afford a full-frame, but working towards it. I'm not what you would call a pro by any stretch of the imagination, but I do enjoy shooting whatever I can, where ever I can. I'm building up a portfolio of studio work, and love shooting landscapes, and dogs. (I live with three camera hounds as it is, so I have to shoot dogs)

By day, I'm a computer systems engineer currently specializing in database administration. At all other times, I am an author / photographer. I have been published in the past, but that company turned out to be run by an embezzling waste of DNA. So, I went wholly independent and I'm loving it. Same goes for my photos. They are mine, and I'll sell or give them as I feel fit.

Glad to meet all of you. Hope to hear from you as I can. Looking forward to soon posting some of my shots here.

Later.

Welcome to the forum, if you continue saving just now Pentax will have a FF when you got enough.
