Father’s day is around the corner. This year in the United States of America we will be celebrating it on June 17th. I wanted to make a photo series to honor great dads, fathers that are involved in their children’s lives. With the help of my husband, my friends, and neighbors I was able to create this project just in time for Father’s day.
Now that I am a mother myself, I watch my husband, my friends’ husbands, see how they interact with their children. I catch myself comparing them with my own father. It’s funny how different they all are but at the end they love their children unconditionally.
I tried to show as many different types of dads as I could possibly think of and give a funny twist to it. Maybe you can relate to some of them too. Enjoy.

Why is it that a man changing a diaper is seen as "special" in some way? He's a PARENT, fercryinoutloud! That's what parents do.
OB - As the child of a gay parent, let me assure you. This IS normal! I have the most wonderful memories of my childhood with both my dad, my mum & their SOs. Compared to the childhoods of some of the kids I went to school with it was magical. Who my Dad chooses to love and enjoy his life with has had absolutely no negative impacts on my life because they are wonderful caring, selfless people. Even though I lived with Dad growing up, I saw my Mum and stayed at her place when ever I wanted to. I went to school with kids from "broken homes" who didnt get to spend time with either of their straight parents nearly as much as I got to spend time with my Mum despite living with my Dad. In highschool when my best friend whose strict religious parents kicked her out because of the music she liked and the posters she put on her bedroom wall, it was my Dad who let her stay in the spare bed I had in my bedroom and made sure there was always a seat for her at our dinner table, took us to school and listened what we thought about the world around us regardless of whether or not he understood it, like a parent should. He never made a big deal about it or ever asked for compensation for the extra mouth he was feeding. If every parent cared for their children like my Dad did for me and my brothers, or like the Dads in this picture clearly do, there would be alot less children in the world who need homes because the parents they do have, had the ability to create a life but not to care and love unconditionally. A person's sexuality has no effect on their ability to be good parent ...you moron.
I have never cared who a person loved. I've always cared how a person lived. You had a magical childhood and it's all because of wonderful parents (all three [four?] of them!) :) My husband and I tried very hard to give our kids a magical childhood as well. We did (basically) the same thing as your dad...took in our kids' friend when he had no where to go. We call him our third son and love him no different than our kids. I'll never understand why people can't see a great person (like your dad) and care about what he does instead of who he does. Makes no sense to me. I would much rather have people like your dad in my life than people who are bigots and @$$hats. Kudos to your family! I love this picture because they aren't gay dads, or straight dads, they are GREAT dads!

I enjoy their pictures but the title is different types of dads and these guys have several pictures on board. Mix it up some more instead of using the same ones
Beautifully said, Braineating Spleen! If they let gay couples adopt, and quit thinking it would damage a child to have gay parents, more children would have loving families! What they really mean is, WE, don’t want gay parents adopting straight kids! Dirt bags! Every last one of these turds that think like this!
Most likely a sweet, well educated girl with properly intelligence, both IQ wise and EQ wise, though with severe issues when it comes to freely hating people

Really important job here; total focus. Too many men are disconnected from children and parenting, our culture prescribes it. Let's turn it around.
gOT TO LET KIDS BE KIDS. hE LOOKS RELAXED AND KIDS ARE NOT IN REAL SERIOUS DANGER. CANNOT PROTECT THEM 24/7. LET THEM GORW UP. ITS ABOUT LEARNING AND GROWING.
Holy s**t people! Why cant people just enjoy cute funny pictures of dads spending time with their kids?!? There's always someone who has to pick it apart...
It's not that Sarah, it's the face that others have to "celebrate" dad's spending time with their kids when it's a normal act of parenting. We all know it should be a shared act with mum and not thought of as AWESOME. Oh look he's taken the kids to the playground...ohhhhhhh.

Good work, good photos, good themes. I don'think it's about "Ooo, wow! Look - an man changing a diaper, isn't he awesome!...!" It is simply photo-journalism, acknowledging what has always been going on. These help to 'normalize' men as regular parents managing perfectly well (against the ghastly stereotypes out there), and it's an important job! Everyone needs a father, not a stranger in a suit who comes home exhausted / smelling of booze - and remains disengaged. So yeah: Bring on fatherhood as a regular thing, done well, with focus and love. Makes for a better world. Thx, Giedre!
I'm not sure why, but the greyscale photos were the best in my opinion. Especially the ones of daughter and father fishing + the dad smelling poop :D AS for dads themselves I think I liked the most two dads and a fairy girl - you can tell they really like to spend time with her and find her the most precious person in the world. Heartwarming!
Hahaha. love looking through these photos, can't help but smile and laugh out loud. Good photos.
How could anyone think that there is more to life than this. I can't imagine doing anything better.
stop the propaganda of homos retards...its un fking natural two dudes owning a daughter
