Welcome to the list, David - the list of many strange and great tales about photographers, photographs, computers, operating systems, cars, organizatons, flame wars, beliefs, recommendations, knowlegde etc. etc. and photographic equipment and some times Pentax cameras and lenses as well as a lot of other other stuff. Cheers Jens, writing this from Denmark in Scandinavia.

Like, for example, ME. Hello! I'm new to the list... I subscribed last week and just sort of read for a bit to get the feel for everything. I have to say that I find the list warm, inviting, and most importantly, comfortable. It is readily apparent to me that many here are dear friends, and everyone seems genuine and wonderful. That and the photos are simply stunning. The lake photo simply amazed me to no end. I've been shooting for a long time, but only for the family vacations and informal vacations. I really enjoy photography, though, and want to learn to use what I have a lot better. Hence, a list like this is invaluable. I have a Pentax Super Program which I received as a graduation gift. I treasure that camera, and it has remained my only 35mm. This is not to say that I don't have some techniques I need to master though (for example, it seems that my blue skies are ALWAYS washed out). I also have a digital camera (an Olympus; please don't hold that against me) but am strongly thinking about a new one. Guess which one that would be? <grin> Anyway, it seemed like an opportune moment to say "hello"! Thank you all for such a great place! david --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
