Sadness

Easy shifts and quiet nights, Dave. You're awesome buddy!

Battalion Chief David Campos 

1949-2016

The older I get, the more often we have to go through this. I worked with Dave at old 6's, he was the engineer, I was the firefighter. We worked for Rick Kosar (he passed 5-6 years ago) and though the house was old, cramped and sort of run-down, we all got on well enough. Part of that was because Dave was a really, nice guy.

I was never assigned to work for Dave after he made Captain or Chief, but we did work together on several major incidents. We retired about the same time and though he was a bit older than me, I still can't believe he's gone. He was a true family guy, I know his family must be devastated. 

Well, shit. 

Out of Chaos Comes...

Using chaos to capture light, shadows, texture and people. I am so grateful that I am still allowed to photograph these people while they work.

These are but a few that I have taken recently. While it has been rather slow in this part of town, what goes around comes around and it will get busy again.

Till then, thanks for reading,
