SubscribeSPROING
Spring is springing. Heck, summer’s simmering: The temperature here today actually topped 90 for a second there, I think. And that means it’s time for some outdoor festivities, and it also means prom season for the high-school-enrolled among us. That would include our little brother Mason, who’s of course not so little anymore. The taller-than-me teenager is off to the big dance with some lovely young maiden, and we were asked to provide some pictures of the dapper gent in his tux.
No problem. It also gave us an opportunity to make use of the “good camera” while it was out, documenting Veda and Kai playing in a bucket of hose water, and Kai tearing across the yard like a maniac, which she does so very well. Enjoy.
What is the name of your GOOD camera?
Well, the Nikon FM2 you dropped off here is a mighty good camera in its own right! But these were taken with a Pentax K-x, which we love. The fun part (for me anyway) is that it has built-in image stabilization, so your shots aren’t too blurry even if you don’t use a tripod. And because it’s built into the camera instead of the lens, that non-shakiness applies even when you use vintage Pentax lenses, which are fantastic and available cheap in lots of places.

We actually love it so much we recommended it to our friend Jenny Sue, and she’s put hers to great use ever since. You should see some of the pics on her blog!
