I love my father unconditionally. I love this image. Whenever I look at it I see him as a beautiful man, human being, and father.

He is all of those things to me but there is so much more to him that could never be incapsulated into a single photographic image.

I broke this image down to its barest structure: pixels, and agressively sharpened it by increasing contrast between the pixels in an attempt to break the man from the image and provide a much richer way to think about my father and photography.

This project was heavily influenced by Susan Sontag's On Photgraphy(clicking on the book title above will take you straight to the section devoted to her in the references section of the site).
