About Me

My photo
Yardley, Pennsylvania
When I was 23 I got my first job working in newspapers as a page designer. It didn't pay much but that was ok because I got to do what I loved, which was using words and photographs to tell stories of people's lives. In the end, I'm hoping to do the same with this blog, while at the same time, grow as a photographer, writer, husband, son, brother, uncle and friend. Thanks for looking.

Dad

Mike Ford plays the guitar at his home in Hamlin, New York on November 12, 2011.

When I was a kid my dad used to play guitar all the time. To this day I can't hear the song "Friend of the Devil" by the Grateful Dead and not think of my childhood. As the years moved on my dad put down the guitar for several years. A couple of years ago he decided to pick it up again. I'm glad he did as this is my favorite picture I've ever taken of him, and honestly I think playing music is a big part of who he is. Living six hours away, we only get back to Hamlin a few times a year. Having photos like this one helps keep the family close.
