I have been shooting since 1972. Took a 20 year hyatis and then picked it up again after my children came along. I love grabbing my camera, listening to classical music and creating images. For me it is a powerful combination. I have used Pentax cameras all my life and currently use a K5IIs and 645Z. The K5IIs has probably kept me shooting with Pentax. I like the sharper images it produces without the anti-alliancing. After all those years I am heavily invested in Pentax equipment. The medium format is a new venture. I will reserve judgment on that until I have had more time to spend with it. I also love creating abstract photos
