Dad Photography in Harrisburg

An example of what I like to call “Dad Photography.”  After you go to the gym, get everyone ready for school, go to work, eat dinner, help with homework, spend some quality time with the kids and collapse… you often don’t have a lot of time left for your photography much less anything else.

The shutterbug-dad-on-the-go has to get his photo opportunities while he can.

On a trip to various museums with my boys this past weekend, we passed a decaying fire hydrant that was in stark contrast to the shiny dome of the state capitol no less than 100 yards away.  While we were walking back to our van, I squeezed off a few closeups while the boys beckoned for the sugary sustenance waiting for them in the vehicle.

Could the shot be better?  I’m sure with time to work the subject I could have produced a stronger point of interest, but what’s a busy Dad to do when his boys are screaming for their Oreo Snack Packs?

Dad Photography: you get your shots when you can.

    Who?

    I'm an amateur photographer with a love for all types of photography. Although it seems like I just started yesterday, photography has been a serious hobby for me for almost a decade now. "A decade" sounds impressive. Much more so than "since 2001."

    I've learned so much from the people I've met during my own personal photographic journey, and I'm grateful for all the information and advice that was given to me freely and with much enthusiasm. Hopefully, through this site, I can pass on a little bit of the knowledge I've gleaned over the past few years to those who stumble across this url.

    For those who live in the greater Lancaster area, I'm also the organizer of the Lancaster County Photography Meetup Group. If you live nearby (or even if you don't) and want to get out and about with other photographers, join us for a meetup!
