Photo taken with Pentax K100D and
Pentax DA 50-200mm f/4.0-5.6

I took this photo while visiting Oakland zoo with my family back in 2007 when I started my digital journey with Pentax K100D. I have this picture printed and framed on my work desktop and it constantly reminds me the love and affection that animals have towards each other in a relationship. Looking at this picture, I have lots to share with my two boys to remember to have love and affection towards one another.

But that is so far from the truth when I come home from long day of work. Mom is dead tired in preparing dinner while the two boys constantly find a reason to be mad with one another. Perhaps, I need a bigger print and frame it in our living room for reminding my family about love and affection from our animals friends whom we love visiting in the zoos, parks and wildlife refuge.

Photos taken with Pentax K10D and
Lester A Dine 105mm f/2.8 1:1 Dental Macro

I sold my Lester A Dine macro lens way too soon. Now that I re-examine my old pictures done with the macro lens, I really miss the color from this lens. Some of the difficulties that I found with the lens was really me instead of the lens. In hindsight, I wished I had it longer to have tried its macro ring flash to open up the depth to see the flower in detail. Color me blind in my guilt of having too many lenses in my possession that I picked hastily in selling.
