April's theme: "My Photos"
Maybe because he was present at my birth,
My eldest daughter is very interested in childbirth.
The other day, I was looking back at the birth photos I had taken, and sure enough,
"Show me what!"
"Are babies born from their butts?"
He came over and rubbed against me.
That evening, I thought I heard my oldest daughter calling my name, and she put a small balloon in my youngest daughter's (11 months old) stomach and said, "The baby will be born soon!"
But while I was assisting...
So they started playing childbirth...
I also encountered the bizarre scene of a woman being 11 months pregnant.
I wanted to capture the expression on my eldest daughter's face, who had no idea what she was thinking, and the expression on my second daughter's face, who looked extremely annoyed.
Oh, I wonder why those socks are always lying around in the background.
Disgusting photos of me.

The theme for April was a broad one. We requested members to share their "my photos", such as "This is what my photos look like!" or "This is my relationship with photography!" or "One of your favorite photos". As we mentioned the other day, the Gaze Photo Exchange Club is a volunteer-run activity, and we wanted everyone to take a moment to look at themselves, as a way to introduce themselves. The Gaze Photo Exchange Club is made up of only moms and dads. When you're busy with daily life and raising children, it's easy to put your own needs on the back burner. That's why we want everyone who looks at the photos here to also value their own time.
The photos we received from the club members were all full of emotion. They spoke about themselves honestly. About themselves now, about their future, and about their gratitude. They were looking back on themselves, but the photos also gave us hope for the future. Here is one photo from the many we received.
I like the phrase "I hate my photos." I think it's proof that you have established your own photography style, that you look at your photos from a bird's-eye view, and that you love them. Photography is firmly rooted in you, your family, and your life, and from the expressions and situations in the photos, you can see that your life is enriched because of the tool of photography. I introduced these photos because both my family and I admire the way you interact with photography.
