Drawings and more

Among everything else my dad was, he also was a great artist. My sister inherited that talent. They both can draw marvelously.

Dad could draw anything. I've watch him put together some incredible drawings to add to reports that I had to do for school. His ability helped him tremendously also in his chosen profession. In the printing business, it comes in handy to be able to sketch or draw something.

One ad campaign that he worked on while we were in Monaco was for a top 20 radio show called "Taxi". My dad drew an old fashioned model T type car in vibrant colors and wrote "Taxi" across it. I especially remember the words because I was doodling one day and I wrote my name in cloud-like letters and Dad said "Let me see that! That's good." He actually used my doodling idea on the letters of "Taxi". I thought and still think that's pretty neat that Dad, the artist, would use something that I designed on his work.


Dad also had an artist eye with the camera. I inherited his Nikon F that he used throughout his travel. This is one of the most revere 35 mm ever made.





Once, while leaving in an apartment in Metairie, LA, we took a picture of the moon. We left the aperture open for 15 minutes. The resulting picture was a moon that travelled across the sky. Dad taught me a lot about taking pictures.

This blog may seem like Dad was too good to be true, but to me and to a lot of people that knew him, Dad was that good.
