See No Evil

Posted by {H} creatives (San Francisco Bay Area, United States) on 9 June 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Still continuing the series inspired by the "Father's Love", and as prompted by a comment from Simon from my previous blog entry - (Thx, chum!) So I've got the hand and the feet and was ready to move on. Then just as I was to post another theme, Tyan - a p-blog friend across the Pacific - urges me onward. B-) (Thx, sistah - this one's for Caleb)

Fatherhood taught me the meaning of "grace"...making ugly things into beautiful things, as Bono would put it. It teaches me to see the blessings and not the curse. I think it is up to us to see the beauty in life and let go of the bitter.

p.s. by the way, the hat unintentionally fell down as I take this picture, but came out "cuter" as a result, I thought. B-)

Simon from United Kingdom

Looked at you photos to date. Some great shots. The subject matter coupled with shallow depth of field creates that more intimate feeling that you have tried to capture.
