Crazy that these are the first shots of this place. It’s walking distance from home and I’ve always wanted to take pics. I’ll probably take hundreds of shots of this place over the next year until I get something I really like. That’s one thing about a new camera – it can often spur a…

I’m lucky to have such a pretty building within a mile from my house. Even on overcast days it sits like a jewel. I’m also lucky to have the Pentax DA70 F2.4. It’s the kind of lens you build a system around. With this piece of glass I know that every bad shot is my…

Pentax K-01, as taken by it’s bigger brother., originally uploaded by john m flores. So this blog and my Flickr photos are receiving an inordinate amount of traffic ever since I started writing about my Pentax K-01 experiences – much more traffic than my postings on Micro Four-Thirds cameras. I find that a bit surprising…

There’s a Pentax K-01 in there somewhere. I had hoped to use it as shown for a video shoot tomorrow. And while the setup looks complex, it’s that way to make up for some shortcomings of the camera. That Tascam on top for example is hooked up to the Sennheiser shotgun mic because if I…

A week of unseasonably warm weather coaxed some flowers to bloom early, but the sun has retreated and the mid-spring chill has returned. While wandering around town on this grey day, I thought that I’d capture some color alongside one of the town landmarks, the old county courthouse.

Handmade, wood-framed qajaq (kayak) at Jersey Paddler show, originally uploaded by john m flores. Ahhh, freedom from the mirror and the optical viewfinder! If I had brought a dSLR, I would have had to have someone hold my legs as I hung upside down and contorte myself into the belly of this kayak. And don’t…

The eyebrows have it, originally uploaded by john m flores. I’ve done some work for non-profits, and I was just asked to shoot a big fundraising dinner for one of them again. Last year, I had sold my Pentax K20d and replaced it with a Panasonic GH2. I didn’t have a flash for the GH2,…

Blessing Bishop (St. Nicholas of Bari), originally uploaded by john m flores. That’s it. I’ve just about uploaded all of my photos from The Cloisters to Flickr. If you’d like to see the complete set, here they are: http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnmflores/sets/72157629608673783/detail/ At the end of the day, the Pentax K-01 acquitted itself quite well in this environment.…

By the reaction of some camera enthusiasts, no. After all, it lacks a viewfinder, a proper grip, and it comes in yellow! But maybe the camera wasn’t made for them. Here’s an interesting blog about the camera from another perspective: http://www.laimyours.com/12446/playing-around-with-marc-newsons-pentax-k-01-at-ar/ Some choice words… The camera is shockingly easy to use, one of those cameras…
