Father & Daughter

‘1st Day Of School’ by ForeverSouls

Father & Child

22 February – This is the pastoral text of Fr Reuter: When a father works to send his children through school, his work is consecrated to God. God is of course far from the mind of the father whose daughter is having problems going to school the first time, or the next time.

The image captures a scene that is common to parents with school-able children. The scene is common, the shot is not. I like the focus on the face of the daughter and the holding of hands between father and child. It inspires me and I hereby christen this photograph Father & Child.

We have countless Mother & Child photos but this is the first Father & Child image for me. My congratulations to the husband & wife team of ForeverSouls (Tree & J Hensdill), in love with photography (one), cameras (four), in love with their children (four), in love with each other (fore!).
