I just got a new Fuji S500 digital with extra lenses and filters,
Old Reliable Canon AE1
I enjoy roaming the wine country trying the wine and taking photos. I'm a bit laid back, not a sports fan, enjoy mellow jazz, I like to read, and like to cook. I love to travel, especially in Western Europe and take lots of photos.
I shoot Pentax. K10d, K7 arriving this week. SMC Pentax DA* 50-135mm F2.8, Pentax SMC FA 50mm F1.4, Pentax SMC, 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL, Sigma 70-300 F4.505.6 Macro...,Sigma 24-70 F2.8, Various flashes, studio strobes, etc, etc., Lightroom 3, CS3 Extended.
Canon ELPH Power shot something or other. K1000 and some old Pentax and Sigma lenses.
I’m an Illinois native, lived in Tokyo for a couple of years, now transplanted to Utah. I still have my Brownie Hawkeye Flash and my Pentax K1000. I’ve spent many years on the stage as a classical musician, singing and conducting, directing musical theater, and teaching.
I’ve turned my creative energies more to photography lately. I shoot a lot of model portfolios, events, and portraiture. But I do love landscapes and dabble with that once in a while. My kids are involved in soccer so I will shoot that sometimes, but it is not my forte.
I’m an odd duck in that I’m an educator and creative person, but a conservative. I grew up thinking the government should let people do for themselves help society maintain a level playing field. I get less conservative at local government levels, so I am happy to shoot events for conservative politicians that keep their word. (boy if that ever happened with either party!)
Wife, yes. Kids – 4. Dog – yes. Computer nerd? Yes, it pays the bills. Wo
