Happy Father’s Day !

I was lucky to have my dad live to be 81 years old!  He lived through the Great Depression and taught our family how to cherish the people in our lives, the elderly, the food on the table, and a good trip to the “dump”!   My dad has been gone almost 8 years.  I miss him every day.  These words describe my Dad:  honest, hard working, nurturing, meticulous gardener, dog lover, motorcycle rider, Detroit News paper boy-pressman, loyal, and best lunch maker - ever!  When I was in grade school, he would pick my sister and me up from school,  riding his bike and bringing our poodle Dino with him.  We were the envy of all the children!!  My sister and I would run to meet them and our friends would follow along to pet and play with Dino!  My Dad loved his family.

Here is an image, of my mom and dad, captured before my sister and I were born, carefree they were!!

He didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

I spent a fabulous weekend with 25 professional photographers in Salt Lake City, UT.  We met on the University of Utah campus to attend Nichole Van’s Professional Workshop.  If you have never seen Nichole’s work please visit http://www.nicholev.com  

Here is an image Nichole’s wonderful husband, Dave, took of us (in the rain).
