Hello fellow photographers. I have been an enthusiast since I was 14 (1964) learning the joys of photography on my father's Yashicaflex twin lens reflex, shooting B&W using a manual meter.

In the 1980’s as a young California Central Coast carpenter, I bought a cherished Pentax ME Super film camera with a 35-70mm zoom lens and kept it on the seat of my pickup truck, ready for any photo op that presented itself.

I am now (2025) retired after a 30 year career as a physical therapist and for the last 5 years have not been very active on Flickr. I recently sold my heavy Nikon gear and transitioned to the Fujifilm mirrorless platform, purchasing X-T1 and X-T3 camera bodies with low shutter counts on eBay.

I’m now building up a collection of Fuji prime lenses (all used from eBay). Thanks for visiting my photostream, now done purely for the enjoyment of using these delightful little classic Fuji cameras with their film simulations, their many prime lenses, and SOOC JPEGS.
