Underwater photos
It's not by Pentax, but my lovely little partner Fuji F10 plus the underwater housing. I am not a diver, and I find it real hard to take underwater photo for a new hand like me...

Casuality of the digital camera revolution...
The Polaroid.
I never owned any Polaroid camera, but the uniqueness of the 'instant' photo really rules the special niche in the photo industry for over half a century. By instantness, digital cameras are certainly better than Polaroid. But being instant, Polaroid is also "FINAL"... you can't alter a bit of a Polaroid image; and there is only ONE copy of the image. The INSTANT + FINAL + THE-ONLY-ONE combo has it's own philosophical interpretation to snap-shoters: an image attract your attention / interest, at that particular moment. When the moment passed, what you seen was also changed... there is only ONE image, and nothing else.
With Polaroid, you capture THE IMAGE. Thou I never owned a Polaroid, the news break my heart as well.

My current regular walk-around package
istD, DA21, and FA77. The combo is very small, and a very nice walk-around package when I go shopping, park... etc together with my family. Below was shot with DA21, when I go to a new shopping mall with my son.
