When I work, I go all out. When I relax, the same is true. I spent most of the first day sleeping making up for weeks of travel and time zone shifting.  Photo courtesy of Maya (if memory serves).

I used to have this much hair. Fortunately, Kyle will keep his thanks to his grandfather on his mother’s side.

Here we have the famous “girl power” pyramid featuring all of Maya’s friends.

Maya experiments with a new volleyball stance.

Another portrait. This time Ellie shows me her belly.

Kyle has become quite a handsome young man. He is joined at camp this year by several kids his age and he is having a great time hanging out with his peers.

I am not sure exactly what this game is, but Nicolai seems to have a distinct advantage.

Each year I take portraits of all the Bayside campers and present a slide show on the last evening. Pictured here is Mia.

At Bayside I spend most of my time photographing people. This morning I grabbed this “art” shot for a change of pace.

At Bayside, tradition demands that you kiss every fish that you catch before releasing it. Lan demonstrates the technique.

Fishing starts bright and early at 6:30AM. Maya catches two fish before her father can drag himself out of bed to record the event.

Prior to leaving for camp, I gave Nicolai a haircut. I think he looks very handsome but according to his mother, I took off too much hair. 

Maya and friend Megan look on. Later in the day, I gave them lessons and they are now playing right along with the big dogs.

It takes Nicolai all of about ten minutes to organize the first volleyball game. The new venue features a much nicer court and he is very pleased with this aspect of the new camp.
