Suffice it to say that I love taking pictures, but I am lucky if 1% of them are noteworthy.
I own a Samsung GX-10 DSLR (a.k.a. Pentax K10D) and I am taking pictures all the time, carrying it around with me wherever I go. My wife calls me obsessed. I call myself "dedicated", as that sounds a little more strength-based. I don't have much in the way of equipment or lenses:
Pentax DA* 50-135mm f2.8 (more expensive than the camera)
Samsung D-Xenon SA 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 (a.k.a. kit lens)
Takumar Bayonette M 135mm f2.5
Pentax M 50mm f2
Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6
Pentax Wireless Remote F
Metz 48 AF-1 Flash
That is it.
Oh, and I just got me a couple of Pocket Wizards Plus II units.
I am in Chicago, so if you are too (or you are coming into Chicago)and want to take pictures together, or you have things to teach me, please! drop me a line.
If you like my work, I have some of it for sale at johnmagruderphotography.com. Feel free to take a look. Thank you!
