Since next Sunday is Father’s Day, I thought I would select a picture that represents the occasion.
When I saw this picture, my first thought was that I wish I had one like that with my daughter. I do have many pictures of my daughter and me but none seem to capture the pure innocence quite like this photo. It’s such a great age for children. They’re little sponges of knowledge and still at the age where they think their Daddy is the greatest and can do no wrong. They’re just such a joy to hold and talk to.
What I really like about this photo is the fact that it is in black and white. There is definitely a time and place for color photography, but in this case, the photographer’s decision to use black and white was perfect. Not having color causes me to concentrate more on the character and emotion of the shot. I think color would have diluted the overall impact of the photo.
The name of the photographer who took this photo is Thomas Paul. He hails from North Carolina and is the owner of a wedding and portrait photography business in Charlotte.

Your daughter still thinks you are the greatest and can do no wrong.
