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"
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!

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..
The adult male Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus) feeding the fledgling or juvenile male flicker, next photo.
Fairly well hidden except for that eye, but an unappealing bit of lighter sky, left corner. Photoshop and I are not friendly, yet. I have not grasped masking, nor do I like Lightroom. Sigh...

The little girl is managing the tiny grocery at a remote corner of Bangladesh as her dad has gone for lunch.
My dad introduced me to the hobby of trains and railroading 54 years ago. We have shared the hobby for decades and we always have something to share and to talk about.
I "kidnapped" him for a short road trip. He's 84, and a bit of a homebody, spending most of his time gardening, running the house (we lost mom last December), and taking care of Dolly, his rescue Chihuahua.
We made the short hike from Soldier Hollow along Deer Creek Reservoir and photographed Heber Valley Railroad's GP9 rolling along the lake. He was thrilled and can't stop talking about the good times he had that afternoon. The good news for me is, he's ready for another road trip.
I spent yesterday remembering Dad, at one of his favourite parks. Before he went on ahead in 2000, he suggested that we could honour him by taking the grandkids out for ice cream. We continued that tradition yesterday on his birthday. It's good to remember those we've loved and those who've loved us.
One of my father's favorite past times. It was a little early in the season, nothing caught except for a few photos.
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..
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. ;-)
