A few things

"There are a few things you must know
to become a wise parent.
You must know that you are going to die,
for then you will be able to truly live.

You must know when you have enough,
for then you will be content.
You must know how to laugh,
for then you will find healing.

There are many things you need not know.
You need not know everything your children think or do.
You need not know their secret dreams and hopes.
You need not know how life will unfold for them, or for yourself.

Live your own life,
with all your heart,
with all your mind,
and with all your soul.
There is no need to live theirs.
They will do that wonderfully
by themselves."

Black and White - Classic

I've been wanting to shoot some B+W lately.
More specifically, I've wanted to shoot some B+W images of my son.
More specifically still, I've wanted to shoot some B+W images of my son splashing around in puddles in his rubber boots.

He's growing up so fast, soon it won't be "cool" for him to put on his boots and run around in the puddles.

We've had 5 solid days of rain here and the other night before Robbie's bedtime I finally got my window of opportunity to shoot a series of shots. Over 180 images shot in the lane way beside our house and I could not be happier with the way things turned out...
