the second post (the dad)
Exactly 1 year and 2 months ago my beautiful wife Melissa created one of the greatest works of art I have ever seen, my son Elliott Scout Pfister. His name was a combination of one of our favorite photographers Elliott Erwitt and Scout was my childhood nickname given to me by my dad . Well it was one of many nicknames. Most of which I prefer to keep to myself.
He is perfect. He has changed the way I look at the world. Nothing else seems to matter as much any more. I just hope I will be half as cool as my dad was.
More of this little dude and my Melissa to come. As well as a visit from our furry friends tomorrow!
On to the techie stuff.
I just grabbed a few images, from the hundreds of him. While digging, I thought it was pretty cool that I had found an image of me taken in 1969 with a polaroid land camera. I made the image below with the same camera and film type a couple months back. Mine has been converted by alpenhause kamera werkes to accept pack film and 4×5. Running around with a 4×5 rangefinder making hand held images at will…super sweet! More images from this sweet machine to come. stay tuned! The others are from the always trusty Nikon D3x or the F5. I just can’t seem to step away from that beautiful four letter F word. Details below images.
These first few posts are just meant to be an introduction. More tomorrow. Thank you for stopping by.

He is PeRfEcT! Fatherhood suits you perfectly. Thanks for sharing.
Yea!! Glad you are here! You seem to be a pretty good writer yourself….:)
I’m not real sure what it feels like to be a Dad, but I know you are a great one! Being a parent is the most important job we can have! Love you Missy and my Scoutman
You are/will be the coolest dad–no question!
Hey there parker, I have just ready your entire blog from beginning to end… and I have to say I am so glad you have joined the blogging world. Not only are you a talented photographer but your writing is laced with creativity and wit as well. In one of your post you mentioned the world of blah photography soup… or something to that effect. It is so true and in an effort to grow as an artist myself I really value all the tidbit of information your share about the way your images are created. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and ideas. It’s really great!
Congrats on your sweet little boy! He’s gorgeous!
Keep on blogging!
