Photography  has been my interest ever since I was old enough to pick up a camera, but today I want to share with you the 15 most treasured photos of mine, and I didn't take any of them. In fact, most of them were taken by random tourists. My story begins when I was in New York City for a speech, and my wife took a picture of me holding my daughter on her first birthday. We're on the corner of 57th and 5th. We happened to be back in New York exactly a year later, so we decided to take the same picture. Well you can see where this is going. Approaching  my daughter's third birthday, my wife said, "Hey, why don't you take Sabina back to New York and make it a father-daughter trip, and continue the ceremony?" This is when we started asking passing tourists to take the picture. So these photos are far more than representatives  for a single moment, or even a specific  trip. They're also ways for us to freeze time for one week in October and reflect on  our times and how we change from year to year, and not just physically, but in every way. Because while we take the same photo, our viewpoints  change, and she reaches new milestones   and I get to see life through her eyes, and how she communicates with and sees everything. This very focused time we get to spend together is something we value(,) and expect the entire  year. Who came up with the idea of having a father-daughter trip when Sabina was 3 years old?
Her mother. Her father. Sabina herself. An unknown tourist.
