CONGRATULATIONS!
I am quite impressed.
That is a really nice article, very personal and very pro-Pentax! The
They asked about my photographic journey and my equipment. So that's
what I came up with.
images are superior as well.
Thank you. I tried to pick some good ones.
If folks are curious about what I submitted for them to choose from,
that would be this album:

They also wanted a link to my work, unfortunately they just pointed to
my flickr account rather than one of my better sets of photos. The last
gazillion photos I had posted were proofs of my selfies so friends could
help pick ones that sucked less. I wanted less sucky shots to be what
people saw so I cheated, selected my 5-star photos from lightroom and
posted them in an album so those would be what someone going to my
flickr feed would see first. I'm not sure why some of them got a 5 star
rating, but it's better than folks seeing my ugly mug.

The two forest images make me think of Robert
Frost: "Whose wood these are, I think I know."
Thank you, the first photo shot (fall colors) was one I took when we
were showing the Coyles around.
The comet shot is simply
spectacular.
If you look off to the right side, directly below Andromeda in the
branches of the tree you can also see a meteor.

My favorite, however, is the Felton Covered Bridge; great
work indeed. I tried to get a nice image of it when I was there with John,
and it is a difficult subject that you certainly made the most of.
Thank you, there's a funny story about that. I had gone down there to
photograph the bridge with holiday lights. I had just gotten my camera
set up and ready to go, when they turned off all of the lights.
I set it for a 30 second exposure (to catch the stars) and walked down
the inside of the bridge firing my flash a few times to illuminate it. I
got a much better photo than the one that I meant to.
As to my being an exhibited photographer, there isn't a lot to it, a
friend has a restaurant and needed some artwork for the walls, he saw my
stuff and asked if I was interested. A lot of restaurants and coffee
shops do this with local artists, generally the trick is going to them
and asking if they're interested.
