fatherhood

July 16, 2007

at first when I began this book project, I felt like I wanted to only show images of fathers doing things society doesn’t expect of them. recently I was shooting a father with his two sons and we went out to his car. he was showing them how to check the oil, and it made me think about my initial reasoning. why should I limit this away from some aspects of fatherhood that many of us experienced? there is as much wonderful value in these moments.

last week I went to charlotte, north carolina for the day to do a magazine cover shoot. had the opportunity to climb into one of Jeff Gordon’s race cars – an amazingly confining space. I cannot imagine being in one of these cars when it’s burning.
