... by Phil Toledano.


"Cool Hunting favorite Phil Toledano recently released a photo essay titled "Days With My Father". A touching compilation of photos taken after the death of Toledano's mother, the images give an intimate look at the father-son relationship and serve as a time capsule of the period. Although very simple and sparse, the series captures a spectrum of emotion.

Created by Fashionbuddha, the elegant design and functionality of the site compliments the work by allowing the photos to stand on their own and speak for themselves. I found it to be inspiring and at times heart-wrenching. Grab a tissue, visit Days With My Father and then go call your family."


"Days With My Father"


:'o)

Wow, one can feel the love (and sometimes the pain) coming through the images, the written words. What an awesome son Phillipe is.

....and what an awesome find Les!

Thanks for sharing this with us...and the warning about having the tissues handy....definitely needed.

Speechless, the part that his dad wants to die is so recognizable for me.

There is so much love in this story that it's given me goose bumps while reading it.

Great find Les.

I thank you also for finding this beautiful piece of work

Very, very impressing....!
John

Beyond the quality of the photographs, what a wonderful human story...
Thanks Les!

Thank you for sharing the link. I viewed/read many days ago and have still had it on my mind.... Beautiful yet bittersweet photographs and narrative.

Simple & sparse & heartwrenching too. Thanks Les. I just put the link up0 on FB & I'm going to put it up on my journal on dA too,
