My Daughter, My Model
By Mike Melnotte
19 Feb 2012
My daughter's beautiful spirit has been the genesis of so many of my photos. She is a willing accomplice in my endeavors and I hope when she's older (and I don't know anything), she will remember these times of me, looking at her, behind the camera.

Short but wonderful write up. The pictures said it all. This story reminds me of when I was 1st inspired by my 2 daughters long ago. It lead 1st to a portrait business, then weddings & finally my own work, which has been exhibited in museums & galleries since 1980. Good luck!
