My first camera a yashica 35 mm point an click was a gift from my father after high school graduation in 1981. I never received a formal education in the art form, but with every new camera and affordable advancement I learned. My latest camera a Pentax K10D comes after a 18-year hiatus. I'm not sure as to why I apparently refused to take pictures during this period but my passion for photography is alive again. I am on a quest to refine my own personal style, please join me on this journey.
