Maplebuddy's photostream  

I am a life-long Pentaxian having had a number of Pentax bodies throughout the years starting with the SP1000 in the early 1970's. I am an amateur photographer that tries to produce photographs that are appealing to me. I recognize the limitations of ALL photo equipment, and I recognize that rarely does one view photos in magazines or in any media that have not been improved with post-production work. The camera does not see what your eye sees and your brain remembers. It is my view that to only do half the job with your art is not right. One needs to try to make their photos the best that they can be. Whether during the digital era or the film-based era, ALL photos are the result of someone making judgements about the raw photo that comes out of the camera. Even at the corner photo developer the printers are making assessments of the photos and interpreting how to print the pictures. That is how I view the process of producing and printing photographs.
