Hello! My name is Margaret. When I was 11 years old I received my father’s hand-me-down Pentax Program-A 35mm film camera as my first ever camera and I was hooked on capturing life on film the minute he placed it in my hands. Photography and journalism classes followed as did my father and I building my own darkroom in the garage. That poor camera went everywhere with me the next 12+ yrs or so, throughout Jr High, High School, and on to College when it finally died. Despite in the end it was scratched, dented, beat up, and had layers of duct tape holding the leather case together, I mourned the loss of my beloved camera for many years after. DSLRs at the time were just becoming popular but were not within the budget of a broke college student. Alas, that’s where my dreams of a photography career fell by the wayside. Twenty-plus years later, after focusing on and building a successful career in engineering and construction; I finally purchased a new Pentax K-3 DSLR and have been rediscovering my passion for photography all over again. I look forward to relearning my old photography skills (as well as learning some new ones) and being a part of this Pentax community.:)
