my baby growing ...by `cweeks

Photography / People & Portraits / Spontaneous Portraits

thank God i didn't pick some crazy gallery.

these categories continue to make me laugh.

so ... my favourite subject. i remember making photographs of her when she had almost no hair. sliding down a slide.

seeing a duck for the first time.

i remember when her mother and i separated.

i remembered the empty house.

walking by her room.

empty.

all the care and thought that went into decorating it.

with no one there to appreciate it.

needless to say i moved straight away.

but ... it was all good.

because we have an amazing relationship.

instead of making a photograph of her in a typical fashion ...

i wanted to show the little lady emerging from the little girl.

i wanted to show her reflecting introspective side.

she's such an amazing subject.

follows what i say and puts her own thoughts into the pose.

those days of walking by her empty room when we separated seem like it was a lifetime ago...

i love this wistful pose.

i love the location that is my parent's property.

i love her.

more than i've ever loved anything else in my life.

besides making photographs.

leica m3. noctilux 50/1.0. 1/60th at f/1.0. overcast day. agfa apx 25. minolta meter IVF (+2/3 over reading). lab scan. adj cont, levels and a touch of curves.

always the same fucking story , always the same empty feelings in front of an empty room ..Thanks for sharing this story , and moreover this capture who tells the whole story of feelings between a girl and her father , between a daddy and his baby-girl ...The greatest difference between the woman and the man is that we push our babies upward to grow up freely and that her mothers are afraid from those babies becoming cowboys if they let them grow up

I am touched...truly. I am gonna be a mom in a few months, and I appreciate that a true artist like yourself see your true art in her and can show it to the world. I hope I can do the same for my child.
