I gave this pentax to my daughter Amandine when I bought my nikon d50 two years ago.

I become a member of flikr in july 2006 and I found since then even more interest continuing my Hobby. I met a lot of people and I can exchange with all of you about our photos. I am very proud of all your visits and I admire the photos you share on this site.
I am very sensitive to all kind of arts.
My photos are normal photos that everybody can take without any more pretention.
I do not post treat my photo, sometimes I croop (very rarely) or I correct the exposition, nothing more.
