I work for the railroad as a locomotive electrician and enjoy photography as a hobby, but it is becoming more than that. I use Pentax equipment because of the lens compatibility and because I like underdogs. My current equipment is listed below. I still shoot a great deal of film because I just really enjoy shooting film. I am a Kodak film fan for various reasons, and as long as they make it I will shoot it. I have A LOT to learn about photography, and digital photography as well. Any advise would be appreciated. I do not have any plans to switch to all digital anytime soon. I purchased a Lumix FZ100 because I like to have a camera with me always and don't always like to, or am able to carry a large camera.

Feel free to add me as a contact but I may not add you as one because I like to keep my contact list manageable. My subjects are everything and anything. My favorites are railroad and nature or landscape photography. I have added two Pentax 645N & Yahsica Mat 124G to my list of cameras as I dive into medium format film photography.
