Photographing kids and families

I usually avoid filming or photographing kids and families…not because I don’t like them, but I’m more at ease exploring what’s left of industrial ruins. So, I was having a brief chat with a friend and new father after he announced it on Facebook.  I was admiring the professional photos taken and ended up digging into my past, 2010, on my seldom-used Youtube channel and found a test shoot when DSLR video was kinda’ new and when I purchased a Nikon D7000. Having few professional creative outlets during this pandemic has been a drain, not just on the wallet, but on the psyche as well and even though this is not what I usually do, I thought it was a nice 20 seconds or so of video and that it matched the day’s spring vibe that’s trying to breakthrough.
