I Am a Father: Part 1

For those of you who didn't know, I am a father to a very active, very interesting child. When we can get him to wear clothes it usually involves a cape, or pirate hat, or mask.

These images capture him. They may be out of focus and the lab messed up some rolls, but these re still him.

Unlike mot fathers I am the stay-at-home parent. I have a unique opportunity to be involved with my sone the way most fathers can't. I see a great responsibility to document it. This is the first of what I hope to be a long series of my adventures in fatherhood.

Calvin and Max

We moved into our house about 18 months ago and it didn't take long for Calvin to make a best friend, Max. Max has snuck out of his house countless times to come see Calvin. Calvin can't seem to go more than a day or two without Max. They are best friends like you have never seen.

Unfortunately, Max and his family had to move away. Only temporarily, but a year is a long time when you're 3. So I made sure to get a few pictures of Max and Calvin together doing what they do best.

This first image sums up their friendship pretty well. Max being the aggressor, and Calvin being distracted by his hands.

The Chase

Last Sunday Calvin and I were playing out side and I was determined to get a good headshot of him. He was very good at evading me and the cameras focus. To see some behind the scenes of check this out.

Lil' Calvino

My son, Calvin.

Polaroid BABY!

This a sampling of my new Polaroid obsession.

The "Bugget"

This is my son, Calvin. It doesn't get much better than this guy.

Why is she eating him?

I'll be honest, I don't know who that lady holding my child is.
