Special Selection "Warm"

Winner of the Manazashi Photo Club's second photo contest "Manazashi"
I wanted to capture this moment, so I took a picture with a film camera that was nearby.
But the film in the box was ISO 100. I wasn't sure if it would work,
I was so eager to take a photo that I accidentally took just one picture.

The photo that was returned showed a gentle expression on the father's face and the smile of a son who had finally begun to laugh.
Daddy looks at this precious new life.
The new family member's name is "Dan."
This name was chosen in the hope that he would grow up to be a child who exudes warmth and brings warmth to those around him.
It really felt like such a space was expanding.
For me, a gaze always conveys love.

Dad laughs loudly.

Come to think of it, I really liked this person's crinkly smile.

This photo also captures my girlish gaze.

Comment from Advisor

The moment I saw this photo, a warmth spread through my heart. The gazes of the couple and the mother's girlish gaze are both wonderful. I think this photo is filled with emotions such as taking pictures because you want to take them, taking pictures because you want to keep them.
