Father Daughter Portrait Day

Olivia and I went out for lunch at Churchill Arms on Tuesday, the fourth anniversary of Catherine’s death, to spend time with each other and to raise a glass.

Grief still lives inside us, but its edges are no longer as sharp as they once were (2023, 2022, 2021); I took a photo of Olivia on the occasion, and she took a photo of me, and I think you can see the lack of sharp edges in our faces.

A photo of a smiling 23 year old trans woman, wearing a grey hoodie, with arms folded on a restaurant table.

A photo of me, a 57 year old white man wearing a button-down blue shirt under a dark blue sweater, set against a dark wood panelled wall.

Well snapped. It’s nice to see you softly edged.
