I own a Pentax *ist DS and take most of my photos with that camera. I chose Pentax because it is a family favorite - my father bought one of the first Pentax SRLs when he was stationed in Germany forty years ago. He still has the camera, all of the lenses, and equipment. Pentax is a nice company in that even his 40 year old lenses can be dropped onto my brand new camera without too much fuss.

I have placed my photos in the Creative Commons so that others may use them personally or commercially, even editing them, with only an attribution.

Here is a list of the countries I've visited. As you can tell, I'm not well traveled. I love Canada. Ireland was amazing as well. Mexico... not so much.

Here is a map of the states I've visited in my life. When I get more flying under my belt, I'll make a map of the states in which I've flown.

That's about all for now. Enjoy the photos!
