Male Bonding

I'm very fortunate to work at a company that gives paid time off to fathers when they have a new baby. I was able to take Trent down to Tucson to spend a little time with my mom on a Friday. We went to the Tucson zoo for a few hours. The weather was great and we had a lot of fun.




Here's one of Trent recently at the dinner table. When he doesn't get an early nap, you can never tell when sleep will strike...


This is probably one of those photos that can be pulled out when he's a teenager and his female friends come over. I'm sure we'll archive this one for just the right moment.

Over the past year, I've been working with Jake Johnson, another local photographer, to take action photos of kids playing various sports. We've got a deal with the city for all city-sponsored sports. We've done flag football, soccer and basketball. Right now is spring soccer and tackle football season. I've spent about half a day over each of the past four Saturdays taking pictures.



I think baseball is next, then another basketball season, then we start over again. It's been fun, and a little extra money on the side makes it worthwhile.
