I find it helpful to occasionally peruse my old photographs from long
ago. 99% of the time I wonder how I could ever have considered those
shots worth taking, much less worth keeping. (I tell myself this is
good: It means my standards are going up so I must be improving.) But
every once in a while I stumble across a gem - perhaps taken with a
basic camera and/or cheap lens - and think "Wow, that's good! How
could I have overlooked that all these years?"
Same here Mark. Great minds ......

Is it all about Pentax releasing the camera of your dreams, or do you
have
another muse for your creativity?
I can overthink the first question but I was musing about the second
one months back when Pentax released a flurry of new cameras and
thought that the K-5 was already the camera of my dreams. Then I
looked back at my old photos and sort of surprised myself: "I took
that photo with what camera?!"
