About . . .

"F/11 & Be There" -- As I've aptly named my photoblog --- Twenty five years of it. VERY often the "be there" necessitated stumbling out of the house at 5:a.m. Not so now. Now it's for the pure enjoyment of it. For a few bucks now & again maybe, but not necessarily so.

| OK, A word about
equipment.
It was simple, rugged & traditional. Pentax Spotmatic at first -- no frills, hammer nails with the thing if you want to. Zoom Lens??? Never!! Nikkormat, OM-1, FM-2. Mechanical all the way baby. Autofocus --- What Da??? Better still -- Mamiya twin lens C330. Nothin' I couldn't (or didn't) do with this baby. 135mm f/4.5 lens -- best portrait setup you could imagine. --- Don't even get me talking about an RB67, Koni-Omega, Beattie Portronic 907 or a Camerz Classic. (Google 'em if you need to). Digital??? Me?? NEVER!! I will stay pure at heart FOR EVER!! Yeah, right. I LOVE it. Right here, right now --- shoot to your heart's content. Never again to pay homage to the great YELLOW FATHER in the little box. Two D-70's now. Why plunk down 5-grand for a D2-X when it'll be obsolete in a couple of years.
