... In Memory of my Dad ...
Daddy .....
Strong back, rough hands, soft heart, good man, Daddy --
I miss you, Daddy --
Gone, but not forgotten.
--from song by Billy Dean
This picture was taken in June of 1990, about a year before my Dad passed away. I had picked up his camera, and having never used it before, walked out of the house through his workshop, and saw that he was cooling himself by a box fan on the patio. He seemed to be surveying his realm which consisted of his garden, the back yard, and Oyster Creek. I snapped the picture, having no idea what I was doing or whether the camera was even close to being set correctly.
But the result couldn't have spoken more of what my Dad was all about.
This picture is, in a word, him.
