I bought my first Pentax SLR in 1974 and have remained faithful to the brand ever since. Over the years I have built up a collection of around 40 Pentax cameras plus the K-1 and K-5 that I currently use. Additionally I have a Pentax 645, three 1950s TLRs from other manufacturers and a bunch of other oddities that people have passed on to me over the years.
In the past I used to say that I liked approximately one in a hundred of my own photos and only one in a thousand would I be prepared to show to other people. However, in recent years I have submitted photos to the British Pentax Users’ Gallery and to the Pentax Photo Gallery and Pentax Forums in the 'States which has given me more confidence to display my work, the result of which is this website. Although having concentrated on aviation for many years I don't specialise in any particular subject these days and find it somewhat fascinating to browse through my own portfolio and see every photo depicting something different!
I hope you find some of the photos within this site of interest. Just click on any photo to enlarge it. Should you wish to make use of any image please contact me at pauljay@home.nl
