OT: Rest In Peace Cowboy

I discovered this morning that Cowboy died on 2-20-2017. I first met Cowboy and his two Chihuahuas at the grand opening of the Music City Center here in Nashville. They were very gracious and allowed me the honor of photographing them. He joked that perhaps I could sell some postcards of them.

Re: K-1 Enablement

There is a difference between wanting a new camera and needing one. If I bought a new camera only when I needed one, I'd probably still be shooting with the K10D. If we all did that, Pentax - and most every other manufacturer other than Canon & Nikon - would be out of business by now. On
