fatherhood
April 24, 2009
I am photographing a Dad who is feeding his son for the first time – the six month old has never eaten solid foods. His wife has mixed the breast milk with the rice cereal and the Dad gets ready to start. She comes in and asks, ‘can I just feed him his first spoonful?’ Obligingly he steps to the side and says, ‘sure.’
The father goes on to feed the boy, and they both really enjoy the experience. Later I think back on the exchange – the mom wanted to be first. I understand her desire – she’s fed him everything he’s ever eaten up until that point. But I keep wondering, what does this do to the father? Is it setting up a construct that will continue as the boy grows? A small moment, to be sure, but a part of the evolution of this man as a father.

The studio is finally solar powered!
Last week the solar panels were installed, and though we need to wait for PGE to connect them, the testing showed them working well on a cloudy day. With all the machines running in the studio, the electric meter ran backwards. Now, I’ve been researching solar many years, and fully knew what to expect, but the feeling from seeing my meter really spin the wrong way was so shockingly gratifying.
More details to come.
