I've been using Pentax SLR since the middle of the 70's when I was about 8 years old and my Daddy allowed me to use his "Spotmatic II". As a teenager I got my first own camera - a "ME Super" which gave me a great companionship for the last 25 years until I switched over to the K10D at the beginning of 2007 followed up by the K-5 in 2011. I am very interested in travelling around and enjoy the different cultures and people I meet. Even if it is not possible to banish the interesting conversations on photos, I try to catch the daily life of people - not only in my mind, but also on photos. And after all that time it is still fun and recreation for me going out and looking forward to new photo opportunities.
