Not only did my first shots disappoint me, but way too many of my current shots do. And that's not because I'm more critical, AFAIK. On the other hand, sometimes the PhotoGods are with me and I snag a "good 'un". From my point of view, Pentax Photography (and there is no other, I AM a Mild Bigot) is a whole lot like fishing: You cain't catch 'em if you don't have your line in the water, and....... just because your line is in the water doesn't mean you catch much. I like it, it being fishing or photography.
But sometimes the Gods Smile Upon You and you have something to be momentarily proud of. It doesn't help the next time out, though. More people should do this kind of thing. Takes your tough edge off. I'm your age, also. Snapping pix makes me feel young, hungry, learning, tickled. Keep it up. -Lon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I meant to include that between classes, college and now, I probably shot about 10 >rolls over the last 20-30 years. Probably less than that.
