Today in “Unexpectedly Emotional Parenting”. Seeing my son in his new space helmet, in the winter sunset, and listening to “Space Oddity” on the way home sent me over the edge and I just sobbed. I’m tearing up again just writing this.

My vice with street photography has become vignettes. Good street photographers focus on finding the little romances in everyday life and skip the context. I’ve found a deep and abiding love for the broader context.

Obligatory for any NY photographer, but it’s still a beautiful bridge.

One of my favorite views of Manhattan. I sure do miss home at times.

A self(ish) portrait taken by my 3 year old while showing him how my camera works. I think he’s a natural at showing character. He was even giving me directions in his own special way.

Off on the right foot. We need to get our steps in before his sister arrives.

For someone with rampant imposter syndrome, I am proud of my work at this year’s 4th of July parade. If I were to author a photo book on Americana, one of these would be the cover. #photography #americana #portland #yearinreview #photochallenge

A portrait of my son getting his first haircut earlier this year. He sat quiet like a trooper through most of it, but I noticed him rubbing his hands together, betraying an internal turmoil. I felt like I was seeing him as a person for the first time.

True to get a Christmas card photo of my son, but he’s all about the football now and was having nothing of it. #photography #portrait #fall
