I Feel Warm

Either my Dad is getting soft in his old age or... or well he's actually proud and impressed with some of the things I've done recently. He was at my house for a few hours today and I showed him the most recent book that I was the technical editor on. The author of the book said some very nice things about me in the books acknowledgment page and my Dad was genuinely impressed. Later I showed my Dad a picture I had taken at his sawmill of one of his Amish employees. I can't explain how much my father like this image. Immediately I had to print it for him so he could take it home. Plans were discussed for a better print and framing to happen as well. We then spent the next hour discussing my photography, equipment I want, my work flow, what I like to shoot and a project that I want to work on next summer. Plus we had an excellent meal at my favorite Greek restaurant that even my brother and sister enjoyed. Man, it's been a good afternoon. I'm 29 years old and I'm just so pleased that my Dad was impressed and proud of the creative stuff I'm doing. Instead of being pleased that I have a decent job or make X amount of dollars he was impressed with some of my creative work that means so much to me. It's a great feeling.
