today my dad died, and I no longer have my biggest fan
This is going to be a little deep.
I got into photography because of my dad, we would go on trips and he would pull out the 35mm(s)! I loved the photos!
Back in high school I always used those cameras downtown Chicago.. buildings, light trails, windows, doors, etc
For some reason I stopped....it was always in the back of my mind
Years later Photography came up because of something my Oncologist said to me: I needed a hobby
I had been sending my dad cell phone photos of storms and sunsets in Arizona. It all clicked I should buy a DSLR and the rest is history....39 national parks later 350,000K photos
30,000,000 views
I have my hobby thanks DAD.
RIP ....
Rod Stewart said it best:
"We got but one shot at life, let's take it while we're still not afraid
Because life is so brief and time is a thief when you're undecided
And like a fistful of sand, it can slip right through your hands"
This dad is taking care of his two grackle babies. They're big enough and old enough to feed themselves and often do but as long as dad is willing to cater to them they will take advantage of it.
What a good Burrowing Owl dad. He brings breakfast for one of his hungry owlets. Besides being the provider, he also takes out the trash, gives flight lessons, and stands guard over his family and their home. Happy Father's Day.

You have fulfilled your purpose here on earth, Dad...go to Mom. My father is whole again after passing yesterday. I will miss you, but find comfort knowing that you are happy again with mom. God Bless and see you later, dad.

are quite piercing, and look through you instead of at you! The time I spent photographing this owlet has been a highlight of my photography year thus far. It truly was a magical experience. The owlets (there were two) are now fully fledged and spend their days high up in the trees with Mom and Dad still watching over. The photo ops that were available three weeks ago when this shot was taken are now long gone. I was very happy to get the shots when I did, and this is the last owlet image that I will be posting. It may be my favorite. The Great Horned Owlets of the Palmyra Cove ~ View large for best experience.

Dad fell last evening- broke his hip and will have surgery this morning. Please send up all those great Flickr vibes for him, my friends!
Challenge: Inspired by a Photographer. My dad has always been and is still a photographer. In this photo are images of one of his favorite subjects and the camera given to him by his parents. Dad...always an inspiration!

Dads old camera (with bellows!! lol..) on new Joby GorillaPod tripod. Back when you had to manually hand crank the film and watch the little window for the number to increase. lol..
Still have to finish going thru all of dads camera stuff. I love reading the old user manuals!! Being self taught, I always learn something. ;-)

It has been roughly a month since Dad left us for the journey after life. I feel a huge void and don't know how to fill it.
He was my Father and Guru both.He taught me the basics of life/photography and without him I am at loss of my inspiration.
