Joys of being a father, Entry #1

ogmatador (45) in photography • 7 years ago

Hello Steemians,

This is my first real attempt to make a proper blog post, never have written a true blog post since I was used to post on Instagram a picture with some caption on it, so forgive my ok quality and I promise to get better with more practice.

I'm a father of two highly active and extremely good looking boys, I have posted some pictures of my younger one already, but my adventures started with my oldest son of course, Dante.

Taken with my first serious camera Panasonic Gh4 _1320360 1.jpg

As someone who loves photography, I had the perfect model for me to learn and grow as a photographer and be able to capture amazing memories at the same time.

GH4

This little guy, made me realize that I no longer had a life on my own anymore, and that me and my wife had a bigger role to play now in this universe, no longer had the choice of not worrying anymore; no matter what you do, you always worry somehow (in a good way).

Dante is almost 4

The joy of hearing of calling me and waking me up at 6am, sometimes at 5am
The joy of seeing him struggle as he plays with his lego's as he is trying to build something and being asked for help.
The joy of just listening to him tell me about his day.
The joy of that everything I work for is for our family.

And most importantly the joy of seeing him grow from a small potato to the little boy he is now.

Sorry for the wall of pictures, I hope you guy enjoy them, please so comment and let me know what you think, I encourage feedback!

This made me smile =) 100% upvote because I can relate to this post 100%. My baby boy is 1yr 1mo, still being woken up every few hours but I oddly love it. My wife on the other hand lol not so much. I'm glad to see "Fathers of Steemit" write and post articles of family life. Also, as a pro photographer/filmmaker from NYFA Hollywood, CA, I think you have a talent in Photography more than you see. Your pics are brilliant! Please take more and share. Im following you, like to see your art work and writing. Thanks for sharing!
