I'm a software architect that just happens to be an avid amateur photographer. I did a lot of 35mm film (used Yashica and Pentax) in college as the editor of the newspaper, but then kind of let it slide for years after that because I could never be bothered to develop the film. Ultimately, I got back into photography with the Pentax K10D (since I had lenses) and then it just went from there. Digital provided the opportunity to really have fun and get instant gratification at the same time.

Currently, I use the Pentax K20D with a variety of lenses from Pentax, Vivitar, and Sigma. My preference is nature or macro photography, though I'll dabble in other forms as opportunity arises. As it is, I slug all my gear (probably weighing more than 50 lbs) to the office daily "just in case" something comes up. Sometimes something does come up, so it's nice to have the camera there!

My big wish: Pentax releasing a full frame dSLR.
