Honored Fathers

A lot going on our planet this week

Father’s day was the other day

I usually don't care

Not because of a past personal trauma

I just think honoring your wife husband mother father once per year is a bit dated

But, I am traditional, so I get it

Came into the city while traffic wasn't looking

Framing Fatherhood Exhibit with Photography giants curated by Dr. Cheers

It felt good being inspired/intimidated by their perspectives

Jamel Shabazz is a Master, his archives are staggering

Tau Battice explained his process taking portraits of African American fathers, showing them around the world, and the father’s reaction upon his return

I saw Steve Sweatpant's puddle reflections

Devin Allen has me saving for a Leica

I was reminded of the fathers that raised me, witnessing them being honored

I came for inspiration and received plenty

Then I changed shoes to go looking for graffiti

“Framing Fatherhood” June 18 - July 31, 2022, at the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design at 500 17th Street NW
