My son Dan


Dan is seen a lot these days with a camera in his hands. Actually, he has gotten really good with his photography, some of the pictures are truly amazing.  The ones I admire most are the ones he takes of his family and I especially treasure the photos of Zach and his brothers. Because of Dan's hobby we have a treasure trove of 240 pictures of Zach from birth to the one taken by a friend just a few hours before his death.

These photos will help us to remember Zach in the years to come, bringing back memories to some and a great longing to others.

We had been urging Dan to update the portrait  of my 4 grandsons taken when Matt just turned 16, (10 years ago).  There is no formal recent portrait of the 4 of them together because the time slipped away and there is always tomorrow, right?

I have discovered among Dan's photos one taken last year at Zach's high school graduation.  I am hopeful I can download it and get it enlarged to replace the formal one.

There are some other pictures in his Flicker account that I hope to sneak copies of, if not maybe he will send them to me. Ones of Thomas, Austin, Janet and the rare on of Dan. See, when you are the photographer you are always on the 'other' side of the camera.
