One of the things we did right as parents was we never said no to Mike expressing interest in arts or music. I have many glue, saw and weird stains all over to prove it . We still fling glitter no matter where or how much we vacuum. And now that he is gone we have art on our walls , some made for each of us expressly, tutus hanging in a room and a computer full of his photography. From the first night together, Mike like Ty has been bit by the photography bug. The first month he was home we used or tax refund to get him a kick ass digital like his dads. I have started going through his camera and literally thousands of pics. you can see his early work , where he was learning angles and lighting to his last pieces where he became more daring. It is literally watching my child become a man through his art, what a eye he had and how he saw the world and what he wanted to capture.
I don't have a gallery or fridge , so my blog so be it. I will have days and days for us to sift through all his photography but like Ty he loved doing it. as Julie Andrews said "lets start at the very beginning' ". These pieces are some of over 2300 photos Mike took in the first 6 months of being home.
For me this is a place to gaze at just one of Mike's many talents : ENJOY
