Always been a Pentax lover...first camera was an (already very old) Spotmatic that I took everywhere and photographed everything as a kid/teenager/20 something ...no working lightmeter...so many years of fine tuned trial and error!
I then bought a LX off a local photographer who had a mild alcohol addiction (I was working in my parents pub at the time and got myself quite a deal!).
Then made the jump to Nikon digital...paid a huge amount for camera that died just out of warranty...with only 10000 actuations... fell out of love with photography for a bit after that and life/work/extreme DIY took over...
So I changed career, decided I need to get back to my Art and photography to keep the evil wolf of depression from the door, I use my LX for film work and bought a cheap K10D to use my manual lenses on... which I take with me everyday whilst I drive around the beautiful South West of England...
So my goals for the year are:
- take a moment every day to look for the beauty in everyday scenes that I wouldn't have noticed before
-going into Charity shops, Auctions, car boot sales and internet sites to look for K lenses (pre M, post M42)
- try and take pictures of my kids (when they are not arguing).
- enjoy the simple joys of photography that made me fall in love with it in the first place..
-maybe even upload some pictures on this fantastic forum
Fun times ahead!
