The Pentax 645D is here! I guess hell has frozen over! It’s been in the works since 2005 – even before the K10D came out. But it’s here now and it’s coming to Japan only (for now) in May of this year.  I guess this is further proof that there won’t be any full-frame cameras from Pentax coming anytime soon.  They have chosen to bypass the full-frame “gig” and go all the way to the Pro level.  But at $10,000 (although the cheapest of any medium format SLRs) seems a little too far-fetched for myself at the moment.  I would have to reinvest in 645 lenses as well.  I have no money… but I really want this thing!  More info here.

Here’s another look at filmmaking with the Pentax K7.

Here’s another look at the filming capabilities of the Pentax K7.  I’m really lusting after this camera.  I just can’t freaking afford it right now!!!

Don’t know by who, but I stumbled upon this one surfing the net through my favorite design sites.

I am oh sooooo tempted to get this camera already.  I’ve been looking at a lot of reviews for this flagship during some downtime at work.  I am so ready to pull the trigger now!

It was cold… it was very cold… However, I did promise her that I would do her senior pics and it’s been long overdue.  She’s the next best thing in golf and recently got a scholarship awarded at Weber State University.  We’re planning on doing more “golf” shots later this Spring when it starts to warm up and as soon as the snow melts.

Shot with a Pentax k-x.  I’m thinking of getting the k-x instead of the K-7 for its low light performance.

My mom turned 68 last week. And as such, we had a little birthday gathering for her.  She was soooo excited to get the Sarah Palin book!

I’ve been thinking about upgrading my lowly Macbook for awhile now.  And while I was looking at the benefits of the new iMacs over the Mac Pros, I ran across this one. Pretty nifty, although I think  it would take me a month to finish something like this…

A friend from NCOA wanted me to do their family pics while he was TDY here in Utah.  This was just my second family shoot.  And as such, I was a little nervous since I don’t do much of these.  (I like taking pictures of girls alone better…  hahaha)  This was a tough assignment for me.  But I was able to get some really good shots out of it.  The sun was still a little high and as you know, that means hard shadows in areas you don’t want.  However, all in all… I say that this was a very good shoot!
