I need to shoot some new local material but this picture of my son, Andy, taken last weekend in Kansas, is worth an upload. He's 32, as tall as I am (which is tall); significantly, um, narrower; snowboards and runs marathons (I'm not sure I could run out of a burning building); and has a voice nearly an octave lower than my baritone. He gave up a career as a software engineer and, starting this semester, is teaching math in the Chicago public schools. He loves it.
He's a good one. Sorry, girls, he's taken. We have some common interests - that's his Canon cradled in his hands.

Another kind of shooting :-)Super portrait from a distance.
ReplyDeleteVery much a case of 'like father like son' hey Bob..in all the important things anyway!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic portrait! Great colours too.
ReplyDeleteCamera ready? Like dear ol' dad!
ReplyDeleteGood shot!
ReplyDeleteI can hear a voiceover narrator speaking, "Here we find the classic homo sapiens photographantus in his natural environment, hidden in tall grass, waiting to capture the perfect picture..."
ReplyDeleteThis apple sure didn't fall very far from the tree!
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiring portrait : Your son caught in the tall grass like a deer at dawn, eyes and ears geared to the world around him as if this tense awareness were a fundamental survival skill. Your portrait in words is just as wonderful. I love your father-son relationship.
ReplyDeleteNice to see another family portrait. And it is a good one.
