Papa

My father.:)

One of my best friends. My hero and my idol. :)

He encourages me to explore and have a life filled with adventure. He inspires me to keep going forward.
Also,as I've said many times, he may not be affectionate but he is still the sweetest.:)

Photographed here in his working table. He may have retired from military service for over a decade now yet he is always busy at home doing woodwork, something artsy/crafty, even learning a new recipe. :)

This is a posed shot by the way, attesting to how cool my dad is. I told him I need to take his portrait for my project. He willingly prepared his work environment and put on "shop clothes" for this shoot. :D

Thank you for everything! Happy Birthday Pa! :)
