When People Fit

By

In April, as many of you know, I spent several days and nights with Jen and Odette and her girls from Rwanda to document their reunion after four years of seperation. I cherished this experience so much. What strikes me about my collection of images from this period of time is the instant and vivid, very visible connection between Odette and her daughters. It was as if there had been no space between them. After four years of being apart, I expected some distance. Hesitation. Barriers. Yet none were visible. They just seemed to fit.

Let’s see some connections today. Share an image of two people who just seem to fit.

  2. My father and I had this amazing relationship. I moved from New Jersey to California about 14 years ago, but we stayed close, in fact perhaps got closer to each other than ever before. When my daughter was born, there was an instant connection with them. Although she only saw him about 2 times a year, they really seemed to fit together. He passed away last year, exactly one month before my son was born. I feel like he is in our lives every day, watching over us.
    Anyway, here is my favorite photo of my father and my daughter, taken on the first and last Christmas they got to spend together.

  23. These jerseys which are interestingly termed retro basketball jerseys are old school. Here is an example, men football jerseys, Kobe’s jersey at the present time, but the Lakers look 20 years ago. That would be an example of the throwback kind. Sports stars put them on now and again during games also.site:http://www.nfljerseyonline.com
