shoulders.where.infants.stand, honoured

I’m trying to build shoulders.where.infants.stand, honoured.”

Just a thought I’ve been having that seemed to also find expression in this shot (left).  Fair enough, the kid is not exactly standing, but that doesn’t detract from what I love about it: You get the sense that 1) the kid weighs something
2) that his Dad, head bowed and more in shadow, sets up his son to bask in the light triumphantly. Get a look at his face, he really is on top of the world! Great capture. Perhaps it really captures what being a dad is all about?

I don’t have kids yet, but when I do- I hope God’ll give me the grace to give them this. My birthday, yesterday, gave me pause to think about how much my own Dad has done this for me, not least in writing. Thanks Pops.
