Shaving your child’s head because you can…
Kids are cool. You can play with them, teach them things, help them grow up into decent, honest, wealthy adults, and eventually they’ll put you in a really nice home where they serve you oatmeal whenever you want. Until that day comes though, I’ll be satisfied just to do funny things with them and take pictures for when they’re older and begging me to show their friends what it was like being raised by me. Like this:

I’ve spent the last couple of years growing my hair long and I was tired of it. It takes a special kind of fool the cut off all of his hair in Iowa in January. And I am a very special fool indeed. Oh, well, it seems like a good opportunity for some continued father/son bonding/photography time:
Kids are awesome.
Albums I’ve been listening to the last few days, and while ruining my son’s chances with the ladies:
James Taylor – Hourglass
The White Stripes – White Blood Cells
Wilco – Sky Blue Sky
Good night, sweet internet. I love you.

Sometimes I worry about you… But if you can’t have fun, why bother? Cool pictures. Really cool.
