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.
Morocco in thirty flashes (14).
Let me share a beautiful trip to Morocco last summer ... now confined, everything becomes a little more nostalgic ...
I will make a long series of 60 photos, divided into two parts, one of 30 standard photos and another with 30 more photos, with a much more personal look ... = O)
Hope it helps you to spend your time and get distracted in these strange times ...
Have a nice day and a good week start!

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.

He wasn't happy with my being in the garden hoping to catch the cubs playing and barked at me until I went inside. This was taken from inside my house and I still felt guilty..
Bringing in breakfast for chicks in the nest box. Taken with a Sony a7r4, Sony 200-600 lens with 1.4X and using the in camera 1.5 crop. I also cropped the final image by about 40%. There is no doubt in my mind about the performance of this camera system.

Thank-you to all who take the time to comment on my photos, it is greatly appreciated!
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.
Black-shouldered Kite (Elanus axillaris) juvenile
Still posting the shots of the chicks from yesterday out of sequence. At this point the dominant chick was aware that Bronson had returned with a mouse and was calling to him, and telling the other two to come up too.
Way behind again but it has been a busy day, and, thankfully, the last day of Home Schooling for Daniel.
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!
Dear Dad, you are always in our thoughts & in our hearts. You are forever missed & loved, because you were the very best..
