Father & Daughter

My daughter, Katie, was two in 1980 when I took this photo. I knew then and there that it was going to be a keeper.

memories...this is a great picture!

Artist Reply: Thank you very much Shannon. My daughter has this photo in her living room. I love it every time I look at it. It's just hard to believe that 30 years have passed since I took it. Glad you like it. I really appreciate your stopping by to take a look.

big shoes wear much faster, don't they?...great capture, Mike!

Artist Reply: Thank you very much, Nikolay. I sure wish I had saved both pairs of sneakers. I would be taking hundreds of pictures of them. Such a sweet memory. . .forever.

love this photo:)

Artist Reply: Thank you very much, Fiona. My daughter, Katie, just blessed us with a grandson about five months ago. Pretty soon, his feet will be big enough to fit into her little sneakers. And not too long after that, he will be big enough to fit into mine. Both Katie and I just love this sneaker photo. Thanks so much for your comment.

Randy McCullough 12 Jun 2009

This shot tells a story, Mike. Great shot and nice use of sepia!

Artist Reply: Thank you very much, Randy. As much as I like good old b&w, there are sometimes when sepia just can't be beat. Appreciate your stopping by to take a look.

Julia Scorupsky 14 May 2009

Mike, this b&w series is my favourite! Love this one and many other!

Lovely shot, amazing how shoes can express characters of people!

Amazing photo. What a nice remembrance.

John Enright 10 Feb 2009

damn. this is awesome...and it reminds me how much I love my little daughter too. She is five.

Artist Reply: My little girl just turned 31 this week! They never cease to be treasures. You'll have to set up a shot of your little girl's shoes next to yours. As a painting, I bet it would be out of this world. Glad you like this picture. I truly appreciate your comments.

That was from me, Katie :)

Superb!

Karie Goffic 02 Feb 2009

such a great photo, love the effect in sepia!

Artist Reply: Yes, sepia really suits some images, just like your "fireplace moments." Of course, anything with kids and family is already warm to begin with. Thanks for commenting.

Vilma Rohena 31 Jan 2009

Lovely photo! Wonderful keepsake! I have a similar shot which I consider a portrait of my husband and I (two old pairs). ;-)

Artist Reply: Yes, your "two old pairs" definitely have a lot of miles on them. It's nice when there are so many wonderful memories etched into the soles. I guess shoes have to be old before they have enough character for a photographer to take notice. Thanks so much for your comment.

Sandra McClure 22 Jan 2009
