This blog will tell the story behind many of the photos I have taken over the years, and hopefully will continue to take in the future. I have chosen to make my first post on my new blog about something more important than work, family! There is something very special about the bond between a father and son. I have been very fortunate in that I have been at home with my son for 6 months now, since I lost my job of 20 years at the New York Times in April. I have not only had the opportunity to watch him grow and develop, but to also take so many great photos of him. Many of these moments, captured in the early morning hours when most are running off to work, will now live forever. I credit my son's beautiful spirit and life force with awakening my passion for photography once again. This photo was of my son and our dog "Uncle Francis" watching some rabbits in our backyard at 7 a.m.
