There is also something in Saturday's Daily Telegraph, on page 10. Nothing on-line as far as I can see.

Nice to see Pentax get some publicity. Lucky lad, not only to have a good camera but also to be chosen to travel to Iceland to take photos. I think I was about 12 before my father let me use his camera from time to time.

Oliver Andreas Jones from Gosport. The full story is in the Portsmouth News: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/gosport-youngster-snapped-up-by-camera-firm-to-...
Quote:

His dad, Mark Jones, was contacted by Ricoh Imaging UK (Pentax) after they saw his stunning images from across the UK.

The company, which produces Pentax cameras, asked Oliver to become their ambassador - their youngest ever.

He has been taking photos in Lapland and Iceland and has been sent new equipment - including Pentax’s flagship camera, the Ricoh K50 - to help with his photography.

Professional photographer Mr Jones, 43, from Gosport, said: ‘I was gobsmacked when they asked Oliver to be their ambassador.
They seem to have got into a muddle about the K-50 though!
