Then there's the "frown-smile." Have you ever seen one? The bottom half of the face is smiling, but there is still a ditch between the brows. I also call it the "worried dad" look. I'll be taking photos of a beautiful family and then, step by step, dad gets worried... I understand. This is mom's territory, he has to get back to serious business. Didn't we get the picture? Were we all in it and no one was blinking? That should be enough. Dads, I get you, I promise.
Moise Nacier was not one of those dads. We took these photos in August and I don't think the temperature had dipped below triple digits for weeks, and it wasn't a dry heat, rarely is in Texas. Mr. Nacier was joyful, joking, happy, thrilled to be with his family before his son went off to Boston College. He would offer a hand to his bride and make sure she was taken care of and honored. He would quietly wipe his brow and smile again.
I remember the heat... but more than that, I remember his heart.
