Days With My Father

Very very thought provoking and moving
We forget how powerful a simple image can be sometimes, in tears here.

Thanks for posting the link
 
A very moving story and a very talented photographer...
 
It's pieces of work like this that make you realise just what photography is really for.
 
Oh my god, I just cried all the way through that.

That was amazing, incredibly touching.
 
These kind of things really get to me, purely because my dad is alive but I can't allow him to be a part of my life.

He is to screwed up, too dangerous and too unpredictable to have near me or my future family.

He is still my dad, he always will be and I love him.
 
Very touching. Nicely done.

But I can't help thinking that's not how I remember my father, nor how I want to be remembered myself, all sad and frail and helpless.

A more fitting tribute would have been to pick up the camera a bit sooner and show the old man how he was, not how he had become since being given his marching orders.
 
Really moving, thank you for sharing the link
 
Very interesting and moving to look and read through. Also, one of the National Geographic photographers did something similar a year or two back, will need to find those photographs.
 
Thank you for sharing. I'm at a lost for words...
 
I always feel if it makes one shed a tear then it has hit the spot. It certainly hit the spot with me.
I miss my parents so much, and today is the anniversary of my fathers death... how uncanny is that?.
 
I read this whilst listening to Simon and Garfunkel. For the benefit of those who aren't familiar with their songs here's a small sample of the lyrics as I was reading:
"And his heart is laughing, screaming, pounding
The poem across the tracks rebounding
Shadowed by the exit light
His legs take their ascending flight
To seek the breast of darkness and be suckled by the night."

It's not often that I get caught by a wave of emotion but I've no shame in admitting my eyes filled with tears.

What an incredible story, father and son. Perhaps I'll meet them when it's my turn to visit Paris.
 
This is what photography is about. It is why it is such an amazing tool.

I don’t think a video would have as much impact.

When it’s done from the heart, photography can move mountains and change the way we think.

The little burnt girl at Hiroshima, Twin Towers, Che Guevara poster etc

Amazing
 
very moving and thanks for sharing the link.
 
Great site, thanks for posting, as many have said, I shed a tear looking at that, and also made me miss my dad again in a way that I have not for a few months.
 
thats a brilliant piece of work!

it got to me a lot, because i was close to losing my dad at one point so its a very emotional subject for me. couldnt finish looking through it all....
