#dadtime timelapse

in

This short timelapse is part of an ongoing project I started working on this summer about dads and how they spend their time with their kids.  It began with the inspiration from my husband, Robert, and the time he spends with our two boys every day as their primary care giver.  This particular scene takes a page from David and Audrey's real life.  When I saw Audrey's post 'Her first tasting menu. By Chef Daddy.' I knew this was something I wanted to capture. Parenthood is an almost universal right of passage and it has a deep and varied meaning for everyone who experiences it firsthand.  I am enjoying these personal glimpses into the life of Dads.

Its always inspiring to work with subjects for Prevention Magazine - and Martha Seddon of Lakeland, FL was no exception.  Her energy and spirit really shine through in the images, and her whole community came out to support her for these group yoga pictures.  We also got lucky with a last minute location change the day before and a photo finish appearance by the sun.  Extra special thanks to Martha for all her help coordinating extras and location ideas shoot.  Enjoy!

Timber Lanes

Named for the tree trunks supporting the oldest building on the property, Timber Lanes is a mid-twentieth century time capsule. Bob Kuhn and his wife Karen have owned the classic bowling alley for the past 30 years.  The lanes were last renovated in the late seventies, and although they have automatic pinsetters, bowlers are still required to keep their own scores. 

Leagues bowl at Chicago's Timber Lanes every day of the week, many of them have been there for 25 years or longer.  “This is there one night out with their friends every week,” says Kuhn, and the bowlers really let loose. 

After spending a lifetime working in bowling alleys, owner, Bob Kuhn, tries to maintain an atmosphere that people want to keep coming back to.  “We have to create a memory for somebody,” says Kuhn.  “When they walk out the door they have nothing.”  It’s his job to make sure they want to continue making those memories.
