One year ago, more or less at this time, my Dad passed away.
The last day of May, the month dedicated to Virgin Mary, and a few minutes before her daily apparition to one of the seers of Medjugorie... I like to think that she came to pick my Dad and accompany him to God, in Heaven.
He was an extraordinary man and loving Father, and I learned a lot from him. I will never stop thanking the Lord for having been so fortunate.
He also passed me the love for photography and for collecting. One of his great passions, probably the greatest, was collecting shells, especially sea-shells. His collection counts hundreds of specimen of rare beauty.
I realized that unfortunately I didn't get any "special" photos of my Dad... So for this post I am going to show some of his shells.
We took these pictures together, while he was preparing some shots to share them with one of his friends collectors, for a potential book on these species.
Looking at these images, I thought about a way to honor my Father and his great hobby. I don't know if I'll be able to make it, to make this dream become reality but I would like to photograph all of my Dad's shells and collect the photos in a book, so that everybody could enjoy his collection.
Ciao, papa', and thanks for everything you did, for being a wonderful Father and for what you taught me.
Se mai pubblicherai questo libro sappi che lo comprerò di certo. Adoro le conchiglie...E' un pensiero che tuo padre apprezzerebbe di certo.
