Fathers Around the World – A Mosaic and Slideshow
Filed Under: Photography by Daniel Noll and Audrey ScottWe often highlight the contribution of women and mothers in our writing and photography, but let’s not forget the important role that men and fathers can play.
On this day, we think back to the moments we have shared with fathers and their kids around the world.
Fathers and their children from Paraguay, Lithuania, Burma, Honduras, India, Uzbekistan, Georgia and Peru
Occasionally, a father will ask us to take a photo of him with his children. His expression is often serious, belying certain emotion.
But the pride still comes through.
Then there are those other times when it’s impossible for a father to hide his feelings. For example, at a tailor shop in Bagan, Burma, a father shared with us a bit about his family and his only child, a daughter. As he fiddled with a broken zipper on our camera sling, his daughter arrived home after a day at school. As she practiced her English with us, he glowed in a moment of fatherly pride.
His hope for his daughter was palpable. So too was his dedication to creating opportunities so that her life might might be better than his own.
So it’s on this occasion that we recognize those fathers around the world who provide support, guidance and leadership to their children.
Happy Father’s Day!

[...] Fathers Around the World: A Mosaic and Slideshow: This post by Daniel and Audrey on Uncornered Market was a lovely post for Father’s Day. I love photography posts like this that are beautiful yet accessible — more like “look how nice this looks” than “WHOA SEE WHAT I CAN DO WITH MY CAMERA!!” Great pictures. [...]
