every now and then a little boy walks into the room he was already here he has never left i just acknowledge his presence
he sits and listens i share memories questions doubts fears longings words of comfort and remorse
i sit and listen as he shares stories wishes sorrows giggles secrets tears attempts to speak all that was real
our meeting is as a key to a lock slowly arranging tumblers a click or two closer to opening a box filled with light opening a chamber of forgiveness opening a door that has been tightly shut for too long diminishing the shadows and obscurity of what it means to be
sometimes we just gaze into each other and see our soul our converging wanderings and there is calm peace between us inside us not because all the mysteries were explained more because across our times we met found solace and remembered who we are who we are not what to grasp and what to set free
I am much more at ease with landscape work than portraits. I find the entire process to be so challenging. I am content with how this one turned out. This is grandson number two.
I have a totally massive respect for portrait photographers. I find it challenging… however, I am happy with how these turned out. Thanks for stopping by.
I hope you will allow a little grand-parenthood indulgence…. Soren is our first grandchild, and, I highly recommend the great wide wonderful world of grandchildren. I only knew my father’s mom: a gentle, loving soul, so, for me, it’s an extra special joy to be able to make memories and share life with this little guy. And, of course, that’s my beautiful bride with Soren. Thank you for letting me indulge.
That’s my dear bride of 30 years in the background, my youngest son in the foreground, and in the middle: my grandson! Family time is the best. By the way, grand-parenthood comes highly recommended!
This is the last image from a hiking trip that I took with my son to Matthiessen Park. At first I told him not to climb up to the falls… then I followed him! We had a great adventure!
This is my grandson, Soren, and his mom, Emily. We celebrated his first birthday and I took mucho pictures. Let’s just say that I am still a notch below novice in the great wide wonderful world of photography (my hats off to all of you who work in portrait photography) and can’t seem to capture a good portrait. We had a great time celebrating this little guy.
