There is this guy I know who was born 60 years ago...today for that matter. He is the baby of 3 brothers, loves the Beatles, had a ticket to Woodstock that his mother made him sell, once dove a VW Bug, worked for Kodak and NASA, which included a top security clearance position! He loved his days of studying at Ohio University and despite ever getting any of his children to attend there, he finally has a niece studying there now. He is a writer, a teacher, a photographer, a printer, an Olympic sleeper, loves tasty food and silence during Star Trek. He is a husband, a father, a brother, a son, a friend.
He recently has been making a list and checkin' it twice...and it is not about being naughty or nice. It is his bucket list! I had the honor of capturing a multi-level item on his list.
He wanted:
- to grow his hair out long enough for a pony tail
- dye hair red
- shave head bald
It made for some great photographs and these images will tell a great story for years to come! I am honored and blessed to call this man my Daddy-o-Daddy!! And it is even more special that 3 years ago today I got to introduce him to his first grandchild, who bears the name of his father (Henry). It was a a proud moment for me, when I got to say "Happy Birthday Dad, meet your grandson, Jacob Henry!"
I love you dad! Happy Birthday!! I celebrate the life of you today, and the life of my son! Thanks for all the lessons you have taught me, the moments we have shared and the memories we have created! And here is to many more!!
