I know I try to get these B&W Challenge images out earlier in the day and today I was a little late. Being a few days before christmas things are hectic. Today is also the 2yr anniversary of my father passing. He lost his battle with esophageal cancer but he put up one hell of a fight. He was an awesome guy that I learned a lot from and in a lot of ways I am much like him. I also got my love of photography from him as he was a hobbyist photographer. He will always be a part of my life and influence me in the choices I make. So today in the spirt of the B&W challenge and in his honor I share this environmental portrait of him with all the things he loved to do. Love you dad!
