LCC – Landscape: Guest Speaker – Jerry Kita
From the moment I purchased my first Pentax ME camera after college, photography has been a quiet companion on my life’s journey. For years, my lens captured family milestones and everyday adventures, but it wasn’t until the age of 63 that I truly invested in the craft—upgrading my equipment, immersing myself in education, and opening my eyes to the world’s wonders with renewed curiosity. This late-in-life pursuit has taken me far beyond what I ever imagined. My camera has led me across the windswept landscapes of Iceland, the rugged cliffs of the Faroe Islands, the dramatic peaks of the Italian Dolomites, and to breathtaking corners of North America. Each image I create is a story—an invitation to pause, reflect, and see the world anew.
