Will you shoot your own Father's Day photos?

(US holiday, June 18th this year)

...or will you insist that someone else do it to "relieve you" of this typical father's duty on your special day?

I will probably shoot some candids with my GR III (Positive Film mode) and hand it off or user a tripod & self timer to get some group shots.

Weather-permitting, I will sit out on the patio grilling some meat and drinking whiskey with the other dads, then go for a boat ride, if the lake level isn't too low.

What are your plans?

Lady members, I presume you will shoot the photos?

I did it always in the past for my own father, but never for myself.

When is father's day?

Generally, those around me try to celebrate in some way and include me, and I try to ignore and avoid such things. I just looked and the last time photos were taken of me on Father's day was 2014.

Do you take photos on father’s-day? ‍Let’s be honest, after mother’s-day, father’s-day seems pretty insignificant. I think father’s-day was just another day women named so we would take them out to brunch or dinner …?. However, any photos taken, anytime for any reason - would be by me.

Aw, that's a shame. I like to enjoy it; revel in it. It's an official day when people are supposed to acknowledge what their dads do.

I'd rather that happen every day, not just one.

I usually find celebrations of most types pretty miserable.

I'm not a father. My father passed away in 2000, my stepfather passed last week, my father-in-law passed 2010.

Although I think/remember them often, Father's Day doesn't mean anything to me personally. But, I do hope you fathers have a wonderful day!
