A new edition of AIM will be due out in April.

The photo below was taken in June of 2002 while travelling to Arizona. I spent the final weekend in Sedona, Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon. I was awestruck the whole day I spent there and vowed to return someday.  The photo was taken on Eastman slide film (ie.movie stock) the kind that was developed by Seattle Filmworks (now defunct, I guess) and made into slides, negatives and scans. Thew scans are primitive by todays standards.  I recently purchased a 20 MP Wolverine to update my collection of old slides and negatives. I will post these here from time to time. I still occasionally shoot film and work with digital scans.

Oh Happy Day

Some news received last night in my e-mail has inspired me to become a blogger here on WordPress.

The wait is finally over!  Today, Ricoh Imaging has announced the upcoming release of a Pentax Full-Frame DSLR.  Read all about it on our homepage:

i have been using Pentax cameras since the 1980’s and am looking forward to the introduction. The Pentax camera has a long and fabled history.  The original parent of Pentax, Asahi produced the first 35mm film SLR from Japan.

They pioneered many of the features on modern day SLR’s with the introduction in 1957 of the Pentax camera

Let’s hope they give the Canon and Nikon a run for their money with a strong entry into the full frame Digital SLR market.
