Re: And an annual happy birthday to everyone

I enjoyed looking through the PUG archive, too. The earliest entry of mine I could find was February 2005. I bought my first Pentax (a Super Program) when our daughter was a year old, in 1989. I found the PDML shortly after, and participated via my CompuServe email. Then there was a hiatus of

I think I started on the PDML around 1997 but I can't be sure. My first photo on the PUG was in December 1999, the "Synchronicity II" gallery. I didn't think it was very good then but I absolutely love it now. Rather Pictorialist, I think. (Though I can't imagine why I was shooting Delta 400).
