Fathers and sons: a most delicate dynamic. More complex than it seems to those who are neither sons nor fathers. I have six boys. I get it. Sometimes.
There’s a deep rich father/son vein running through the heart of The LincVolt Years series, a timeless flow.
The Young Bros – Zeke and Ben – are integral to the whole journey. Zeke knows as much about the science and systems of LincVolt as anyone and on many occasions the bright light that shines out of Ben is the only thing keeping the whole deal on the rails.
Larry Johnson and his son Ben shot everything thing together in the beginning and when Larry died Ben picked up the camera and kept going – father to son. Bedrock.
In this official LincVolt out take we pick up the action with Ben operating and Larry on camera at the fender of the in-transition Lincoln. From there he explains both charge and change:
Fathers and sons and exact points – the spirits of the past and the present and the future – that’s what’s swirling in the blowing snow outside the cozy glow here at Shakey Pictures North HQ.
In a short while I’m gonna load up the family cruiser and lay in a course for Winnipeg – the heartland. We’ll head right into the teeth of winter. My two youngest sons will be with me. We won’t be in a hurry. They’ll see vast tracts of Mother Earth’s magnificent creation. Beautiful places where nature makes the rules, not people. Much as it was that first time I made the trip fifty years ago.
Much as it’s always been.
Bedrock.
