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"
I never had a close relationship with my father. He died in 2014.
One of my childhood memories is that we used to watch a documentary together every friday night. It was at a time when there were only 3 TV channels out there.. *smile* ... now you know that I must be quite old .. but TV already was in color *grins*
What's left is my love for documentaries bout nature, sience, travels ... and the fragrance of the vanilla tobacco of that pipe...

My month away brought me back here after 11 years, thrilled to reunite with Dad! He's in the background and that is one of his two horses.
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!
