Fathers: A Celebration

A photographic celebration of men & their infant children. The fathers are from all walks of life who volunteered for the project, although most of them had never posed professionally for the camera. The one thing they all have in common is a great feeling for their children & the willingness to express that feeling for the camera. No props & no clothing were used in order to keep the focus on the man & his child, resulting in photos that have a timeless beauty, images that capture fleeting moments of grace & glee between fathers & their children. Sumptuously reproduced in duotone, these remarkable photos capture the great joy fatherhood brings to men. Every photo is accomp. by a short text in which each man talks about what it means to him to be a father.Smith, J.
