Dear Robert, Congratulations! You must be so proud (and tired?) The reason I got back into photography, and Pentax, is that my wife is expecting - due in 4-5 days now. Any hints or tips on how an inexperienced, tired, and excited father can also take good photo's would be appreciated! I hope you and your new family are all well and happy. Cheers, Simon

B&W Baby Portraits Bob, Thanks for your response. Our new daughter's name is Sarah Connally and we intend to call her Connally. She was born 2/20 and weighed 8lbs. 1oz. , 21in. Connally is our first child so we have a lot to learn. I look forward to taking many pics of her. I've had great success thus far shooting some NPS. It just so happens that I've got TriX loaded in the SuperProgram and started taking shots at the hospital and am working on finishing up the roll here at home. I really like the HP5 and have had good luck having it processed and printed by J&D Photo here in Greenville. I want to process and print it myself though. Will try your suggestions. Also have some Agfa Scala B&W slide film on the way from B&H. I hear its cool stuff. I guess the possibilities are unlimited. Again, thanks, With kindest regard, Robert ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Poe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 9:56 AM Subject: Re: Question for Bob Poe Ref.
