Wordless Wednesday: Descending Into Hidden Worlds

...a great game face, with just a touch of trepidation.  

Nothing makes me more proud of my kids than when they exhibit courage in the face of fear.

Wordless Wednesday: My Little Girl is Growing Up...

My little girl is growing up....

He's the Dad: Ben Spark

Drew, aka Ben Spark, is an avid blogger, a great photographer, and an amazing Dad.  ou get a glimpse of his family life looking at his photos (in fact, he just started a "Photo a Day podcast).

Here's a bit about him you might not have known, from his About page:

You’ve probably been wondering why my blog is called BenSpark. Is it my name? No, my name is Drew but these days I answer to Ben. Is it a nickname? No, that would be Drewbie but very few people are allowed to call me that. Is it a pseudonym? No, why would I do that and post each blog post as Drew?

BenSpark came from my last name, Bennett which was combined with my wife’s, (then girlfriend) last name, Sparks. We started the blog together as a way to keep people informed as to our activities and outings. Allison stopped posting but I increased my frequency. I liked the name and kept it, but took off the pretentious “The” that used to be there (I added it for some reason).

I really like Ben's style of presenting photos, and letting them tell a lot of the story.  Can't wait to meet him at M3 next month.
