But today, I was testing a new scanner and pulled out an old notebook of slide sleeves from pictures I took in Brasil almost 30 years ago and came across this picture of Rio de Janeiro. It's not a great picture and I just happened to be at this location at this time so I can't even claim much intent, but it warmed my heart for a few reasons: 1) For some reason, I didn't originally care enough for the picture to remember taking it. The slide was a little darker than this which is probably the reason. Now I get to rediscover it. 2) It revived a memory. 3) I took it with my first "real" camera, my Pentax K-1000. Since then I've owned a P-3N, ZX-5N, *ist-D, K-7 and a K-5. I still love that K-1000 most of all even though the K-5 is a much more practical tool for my needs and entertainment now. I still love to hear the shutter of the K-1000. It has such a satisfying mechanical combination of a click and a clunk. The K-1000 now sits, retired, on a shelf over my desk, in a collection of things that are special to me. I bought the camera with a bag, flash and a 50mm/1.8 lens in 1982 from a guy entering journalism school which required everyone to have a specific model of camera. 4) I was too poor for a tripod so I know I took the picture handheld. So, for those of you who still hold that emotional attachment to your K-1000, or LX or ME-Super I'd like to share this oldie from my K-1000. http://thornsberry.smugmug.com/photos/i-6FCN7z5/1/X2/i-6FCN7z5-X2.jpg Kevin -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
