How could one not be proud of the picture as he sure looks like a hero kinda guy with that slight warm smile. Fine pictures of a guy's dad! Trust me it can't get any better than what you illustrate here.:-) I bet there are millions about the world who'd be proud to show the picture and say, "hey this is my Dad. My hero!" My favourite is the 2nd as your dad appears more relaxed and into the fun of having his picture taken with the cat. Boy I'd have a great big print of this around for Father's Day next year. Actually I'd have one around all year so I could see my dad every day because it illustrates a "Real honest to goodness dad whom I know loves me and I love him! My hero!" That me son is a special feeling many young guys and gals don't have the pleasure of doing or knowing. Well done, good on you. A class act! ted Ted Grant Photography Limited 1817 Feltham Road Victoria BC V8N 2A4 250-477-2156
