Micah turns seven today. // #micahmasato #boystownliving

One last photo in this series. Attempting to work on the colors of my photos. Inspired by people like Fred Herzog and old Kodachrome film. // #igersomaha

More photos I took recently, inspired by Fred Herzog (@fredherzogphotography), who died at 88 on Monday. // #fredherzog #igersomaha

One of my favorite photographers, Fred Herzog, died on Monday at 88 years old. Same day as Robert Frank. I find Fred’s colors and style very inspiring and he is for sure someone I had in mind as I took photos in North Omaha a couple weeks ago. If you have some time, check out some of his photographs either here on Instagram @fredherzogphotography or on euquinoxgallery.com. His photographs of places around the world and Vancouver in particular will continue to be an inspiration to me. // #fredherzog #igersomaha

One last black & white, and then it’s back to color again for a while. // #micahandezra

Ezra has been very motivated to learn to ride his skateboard recently. And so we are practicing together each evening if his behavior report from school deems it appropriate. As a dad I find it very fun to do these sorts of activities together with my son. Today we went to a nearby skatepark where teenagers were hanging out and doing all sorts of impressive skating. We stayed on the long cement path next to the skatepark and practiced simply riding and balancing over and over, inspiring one day to make our way over to the ramps and the pools and the half pipes. // #ezrayuuto

In honor of Robert Frank, the legendary photographer, who died yesterday at 94, I recreated a photo of him with the help of my wife. If you’ve never checked out his photography, I highly recommend it. His most famous body of work was his “The Americans” which gives a great outsiders perspective of American life in the 50s. He’s perhaps one of the most influential photographers of all time. I’m so thankful for his perspective and body of work. Take some time today and study his photography. You won’t be let down. // #robertfrank

For many years Boys Town had a farm and some houses across the street from the square mile we operate on now. Although I don’t know much of the rich history of all that happened on the farm, I do know that it was a special place and time in Boys Town’s history. There were some family homes that ran on that farm for years, and it contained gardens and various farm animals. They even had horses in which Boys Town youth and staff would help kids with disabilities learn to ride. A couple years ago Boys Town sold this part of the farm to some local developers. $1.2 billion worth of development is now starting to take shape. There are already a few car dealerships that have put up buildings supposedly opening this fall (sad face). There’s an $84 retirement community currently being built. It was commonly referred to as the “old farm” but has now been renamed by the developers as Heartwood Preserve. Right now the fields are mostly filled with sunflowers. I witnessed a big tractor mowing down the fields today. It was sad. But change is inevitable I suppose. . Anyway, this is the top of one of the old barns from the old farm. They are apparently preserving it and one of the solos and incorporating them in the design of the developed property. I thought it would be smart to capture a shot of the barn roof before it gets used. Maybe for a coffee shop? 🤞🏻/ @boystownvillage

Empty coffee shop vibes. // #igersomaha
