Arlo - The best thing I have ever done.

Tarek Elbanhawy June 26, 2019

The boy.

Everybody parent says it. It’s not new. But Arlo is the best.

There is nothing that I am really great at. I’m not a particularly great son, I’m sure I have disappointed my mom more than I could count. I try and be a better husband every day, and I’m sure Lindsey would say I’m a good husband.

But I think I am a great dad. Arlo is the best thing I have ever been a part of.

Arlo is getting a personality every day, as of this writing, he is having full conversations with us, though we don’t totally know what he is saying.

The best parts, in no particular order:

  • The Scream game – It’s a game were we try to scream at each other as loud as possible

  • How he roars like a bear

  • When he touches your face

  • When he rests his head on your shoulder

  • When he asks for snacks

  • When he asks to be thrown in the bed

Greatest kid ever.

My Mid-Life Crisis or: How I learned to stop worrying and tap into my creative side

Tarek Elbanhawy June 13, 2019

Hi! I started this website about 4 years ago and haven’t added much since the original launch.

A lot has happened to me since then, I got married to the love of my life, Lindsey. We moved twice (I think we found our dream home in the second house, so we aren't moving any time soon, I promise Lindsey!) I changed jobs a couple times, and the best part of our lives happened too, we had our first child, Arlo. Kids are awesome and grow up fast!

A lot hasn't changed too, I'm still really into video games, movies and board games, though my board game obsession has increased exponentially.

I think one of the biggest things that has changed and has changed me in a fundamental way is my sharp turn to be more creative. I don't totally know what that means yet, I'm still discovering it. But I have seen it manifest in photography and I am trying to up my game all the time.

I hope you enjoy your time here on the site and I’m always thrilled to get feedback on anything you see here. Now let’s go take more pictures!
