As part of an on-going series titled The Forgotten Seasons, I’m constantly training my eye on my family, not only as a father and partner, but as a photographer, seeking those moment of joy and elation, those times of overt emotion and strained tension, as well as the things of pure absolute beauty.

The project began back during 2020 Covid lockdown, when our expanding worlds as a young family shrunk and became isolated. Work disappeared and we found ways to be creative with what was within our immediate circles. To keep developing my career among the long hours of idleness, I enrolled in an online photography program taught by David Alan Harvey, and it was here I was encouraged to pursue the muses right in front of me; the ever-changing growth and evolution of familyhood.

This current series reflects an end-of-the-summer roadtrip, with our parental patience already worn thin, down the Pacific Coast and back before the long-awaited start of the next school year.
