Pregnancy: Weeks 23 and 24

Happy Birthday, to my sassy wife

Warped Tour | David Miller Photography

A few weeks ago I won a contest from a local radio station to be one of their official Warped Tour photographers. I got a press pass and got to shoot the bands from in front of the barriers. As far as that particular music scene goes, I'm an old man at 27. I didn't know most of the bands that were there, but there were a few I was beyond excited about shooting.

I haven't been this excited about a shoot in a while. It was a great break from my photographic routine. I couldn't take my Polaroid, so my go to camera is out. I had to pack light(ish) since it was 110 degrees with limited shade. So I can't pack everything like normal. And it wasn't portraits, models, or place settings at a wedding. I had no clue what I was doing and I had no rut to fall back into for these shots. It was relieving. It was liberating.

Pregnancy - Week 19 and 20

So my week numbering is all messed up. I started with using the week since I started. I think I'm just going to stick to how far along she is. So now it's week 20. Half way.

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.
