So here is a photograph taken by a daughter of her mother. That is all. I am trying to learn from that.

@kristiedegaris

My daughter took this photograph of me today, quickly, in my bedroom. We swept the mess off the table, moved the dirty clothes off the chair and tried to make things look presentable, including me.
I complained the entire time about how I looked. The light wasn’t good, my hair was greasy, I’m 42 on Sunday, I want to lose weight, I’m in perimenopause. But this is something I do. Saying it out loud has become a habit.
@kristiedegaris Former photographer, this is a top notch photo. The Rembrandt lighting, the framing, the expression and pose, and that jacket texture!

@kristiedegaris It's a good photo. Despite all the above, you look relaxed and comfortable.
My daughter (now 18, at uni) once told me to not worry about my weight/hair/height/whatever it was I was moaning about, because I was still her dad regardless. That made me quiet and thoughtful for quite a while.

@kristiedegaris well your daughter is a brilliant photographer, picked a very good subject/model (did you sign a release form
) and happy cake day when it comes. -

Your daughter is very talented. The sharpness/blurring in the photo is just right. The shadows and highlights are perfect for natural lighting without any tricks. The frame and posture are impressive.
I see a really beautiful, self-confident middle-aged woman who hasn't been photoshopped – and there's really no need to.
And I'm already looking forward to your book – it's next in line on my reading list.

@kristiedegaris
Wonderful photo, wonderful daughter. I guess she is that way partly because of you.
(Took me (51) some time to learn, got a grown up daughter myself who's one of my best advisors) -

@kristiedegaris Your daughter is talented, it's a good photograph. And your forearms tell their own story, that this is a person who does in fact work with stone.
