Ato’s Creation

for

Luis

All images below were shot on Kodak Ultramax 400, 35mm film using a Minolta X-700. These photos were developed by TheFINDlab.

My dad created the coolest playground for Lui! The majority of the materials used to make it were from materials/things that people had thrown away and my dad recycled them around the yard. He's amazing at creating a treasure out of someone else's "garbage" and I couldn't be more proud! And I know Lui couldn't be more happy.

It’s equipped with the “basic” necessities of a playground (swings, slide, monkey bars, etc.) but in natural Ato fashion, with a military twist.

This playground also doubles as a training grounds for Luis. Complete with a Tire Wall Climb, Colorful Climbing Tunnel (there’s a hanging ladder inside the tunnel that takes you to the top), a Rock Climbing Wall to the top, two huge pipe-turned-slide features. There’s a Revolving Step Ladder which leads onto the Membrane Walk of Doom (aka the bridge). You can’t miss the spyglass window at the top where you can look down. Also at the top is my Dad’s bench where me and Lui spend many times having faux picnics. Underneath the entire contraption Lui has his “garage” where he parks his cars and has his own little storage section, next to that is his under-bunker hammock. In front of that is the tire barrier which acts as both a barrier and a fun little climb for Lui.

All in all, I guess you’d say my Dad is kind of the coolest person ever? Yeah, I think so too.

We love you Dad!

P.S. Put in your custom playground order soon !
