I bought this camera years ago when I was in college. It was my first real camera, a Pentax K1000. Nothing on it is auto,
you do it all yourself. I took a lot of photos with this camera over the years. Mostly black and white and then some color.
I carried it with me everywhere, I was never without it. Everyone I knew was a subject, sometimes begrudgingly. They were
all very kind to put up with me.

I put it down a few years back and only took it out of the closet on occasions. Then I stumbled onto pbase. I browsed and
skimmed the galleries. It made me hungry to take pictures again. So I bought my Digital Rebel and signed up for a year of
PAD. I've met a lot of good people (online and in person) through PAD, people who have been extraordinary in their
friendship and their support, not to mention their vision. I haven't regretted it!

Okay, sometimes, late at night, when I'm almost out of time and I find myself scrambling for an idea, I regret it... ;-)

Two days to go!
