Hello...

Hi, I'm a new user, I don't know if it's here where I introduce myself?

---------- Post added 05-08-19 at 11:34 AM ----------

Ok I think I'm in the right place... Well hello, I used to be really into taking photographs in my early years, but since nearly all my gear was stolen from my house I lost the bug as the canon EOS just wasn't a patch on the F1n I had. I've decided to restart taking photographs, no less for the fact I now have a little girl (18 months old) I'm crazy about and want to obviously photograph her... A lot lol! Things have changed a lot since film days and now I have a K1 with 24-70 f2.8 and I'm drowning in its technology!!! Seems like a great camera however :-). I used to live and work in the UK and now same but in France. Been here for almost six years.

Welcome!
Take lots of photographs - time will pass very quickly, and it will never be like this again.

I used a Pentax to take lots of photographs of my daughters as they were growing up - lots of memories in those slides.

your welcome message to Lefrog remind me to a pretty article that i've read just yesterday on Lee Friedlander , published last january by Chris Wiley on "The New Yorker":

Lee Friedlander?s Intimate Portraits of His Wife, Through Sixty Years of Marriage | The New Yorker

All the best,
