Welcome My New Friend

I am starting to pick up the photography bug again. I don't know why I am so fascinated by pictures. I guess it has to do with the fact that something are only here for a short time before thay are gone forever. I know this is cliche', but like a sun set on a certain day. Once it happens, it is gone forever, never to be seen again.

The Camera that I am using now is a Fuji Nexia 320ix Z. This camera uses the APS film system, which is a 24mm standard and you get the choice of 3 different print sizes. I like this camera for a couple of reasons. The first being that it is really simple to ue. I mean that there are no settings that you have to worry about. Just point and shoot, as they say. This particular camera has been around the world with me 2 different times on my sojourns to Japan.

I have had mixed results with this set up. I mean that on a couple of occasions the camera has had strange focusing problems or maybe I should say that the camera has had a lack of wanting to focus. I think it has a lot to do with hand placement as I am holding the body of the camera.

I would like you all to welcome the newest member of my family, the Pentax K-1000 SLR. This is the camera that has trained some of the world's greatest photographers. If I can only achieve 1/10th of their ability I will be happy. Hopefully, I should be recieving it next week and I can take the time to pay around with it on the weekend when I really have some free time.

One of the main reasons that I decided to get back to the old skool is to really learn the art of photography for my enjoyment as well and to bring you some good pictures of the things that I will see in a foriegn land that most people in the US are truely missing out on because of the lack of interest in traveling the world.
