I bought my first Pentax camera in 1974 and have remained with the brand ever since.  Over the years I have built up a collection of 30 cameras plus the K10D, K20D and K-5 that are currently in use.  Additionally I have a Mamiya 645 and a Baby Rolleiflex TLR, both of which I keep promising to return to service, and a bunch of other oddities that people pass on to me.
For quite a time now I’ve said that I like approximately one in a hundred of my own photos and  only one in a thousand am I  prepared to show to other people.  However, over the last couple of years I have submitted photos to the Pentax Users’ Gallery and, more recently, to the Pentax Photo Gallery, 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 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 of them please contact me at  pauljay@home.nl

All photos were taken using Pentax cameras, unless otherwise noted, with a mixture of Pentax and Tamron lenses.
