I took these pictures using a camera I haven't used for many years. It must have gotten lost when my ex and I divorced and the boxes went their separate ways. It may still be sitting in her place somewhere.

This Pentax camera had a telephoto lens and I tried to get my children to sit still while I toyed with the zoom to take these pictures. Both were under 2 years old at the time and now these framed prints sit on my hallway walls as daily reminders of how quickly time passes.

My son is now pushing 6’ 1”, growing a beard and has traded video games for playing guitar while my daughter is leaving school this May and hopefully finding work as a digital animator.

We put so much work into them and now they are on the verge of leading their own independent lives while I remake my own.
