It’s a Saturday night in late February. The year is 1986. I am eight-and-a-half years old and I’m getting ready for bed. I’m very excited for the morning to arrive. That’s because, in just a few hours, something will happen that’s been happening almost every Sunday for the last year. I’ll feel my father’s hand on my shoulder, shaking me awake as his voice says, “Gabri, wake up! It’s six o’clock. We’re going fishing.” For over a year, ever since my mom gave my dad a little fishing boat, this has been our Sunday routine – my father and I, alone or sometimes with friends, head out to Lake Trasimeno. It’s a day just for us, a day of waiting, of talking, and of long silences. Luckily, the bursts of good cheer over the catch of a fish aren’t too few or far between. It’s been thirty years since those Sunday mornings, and the most vivid childhood memories I have with my father are, without a doubt, the ones connected to fishing. He still goes, almost every Sunday. As for me – maybe because I’m hardly ever home, perhaps because, when I am, I’m too lazy to get up at six in the morning – I haven’t gone with him for many years. Now it’s my brother-in-law and nephew’s turn to go fishing with him. Lately, I’ve been enjoying spending Sundays with my friends, often in the company of their children. Almost everyone around me has become a parent over the last few years. A couple of friends and I are the only ones in our group who still don’t have kids of our own. I naturally began to observe how the others were raising their children. I watch them playing together, hear the arguments and the kids’ complaints at mealtimes or at bedtime. I’ve often been the one in charge of the kids when those moments happen. Just maybe, all of these things are making me start to want to be a father. When I watch my closest friends, as well as all of the fathers that I meet around the world, and when I recall those memories from my childhood of the time spent with my dad, I feel like I’m preparing myself for my moment, if it ever arrives. That is why I’ve decided to make the relationships between fathers and their children the focus of this project. Wherever I am in the world, when I meet a father I ask him to tell me about a special moment he has spent with his children and, when I can, I photograph them together. That is how I have put together this collection of stories of fathers and their children – stories that I take as either lessons or advice for those who, like me, might have kids of their own someday.

San Francisco, California - Jared Katz (37) and his children, Isadora (7) and Roscoe (4)
Jared was born and raised in San Francisco. He has spent his whole life here. “My mother used to bring me to walk on the beach almost every day when I was a kid.” At least twice a week, Jared brings his children (and the dog) for a long walk on the beach. His children love to collect shells.“They have a huge collection of conchs and other shells at home. They love to get every size and color, so walking on the beach with them sometimes takes a lot of time. They stop every 30 seconds because they see a different shell. ”

Tokyo, Japan – Takeshi Masuma (40), Luna (7) and Nene (3)
Takeshi was born in Kanagawa, south of Tokyo, but he grew up in Nara and, later, in Fukushima. Now he lives in Tokyo with his wife and two daughters.

He doesn’t have much free time to spend with his daughters, but when he does, he loves to take them to karaoke. “We love to sing at the top of our lungs and pretend we’re rock stars. Sometimes we do it at home, too, but our neighbors get mad, so we have to come here.”

Maniche, Haiti – Jhonny Labossière (32) and Jiounelca (2)
Jhonny was born in Maniche, a small village in the jungle in the south of Haiti, and that’s where he has always lived. His daughter Jiounela was born 2 years ago. He lives with his daughter and his wife in a tiny house near the river, in the middle of the forest, completely disconnected from every modern comfort, including electricity. Jhonny raises animals and grows fruits and vegetables. Everything he produces goes towards feeding his family. Sometimes he goes fishing on the river, even though, to hear him tell it, he's not very good at it. He spends a lot of time with his daughter. Their favorite activity is playing in the water.

Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth, UK - Dean Colyer (49), Alisha (13), Harugy (10), Gracie-Lee (9) and Hilly (7)
Dean had always worked for a cooperative that offers cleaning services, but he lost his job about a year ago and now he is unemployed. Occasionally, though, he does some cleaning in the McDonald’s restaurants in the areas neighboring his town. “It’s not a great job, but it’s still better than not doing anything.”At home, he’s the one who takes care of the children, does the cooking (he says he's a good cook), and the cleaning, of course. In part, this is because he has a lot more free time than his wife, who works. “I love playing football with Harugy, and I take the little girls to do dance and swimming. Alisha, the eldest, loves art, so sometimes she takes me around to visit museums.”

Rio De Janeiro, Brazil – Esteban Israel (45), Niko (11) and Olivier (5)

This year, for the first time, he came on vacation to the Red Sea, in Egypt, because he wants to start teaching his daughter, Roos Eline, how to dive. “She seems to be super comfortable in the water.

It’s now the most successful restaurant in Cahuita, and every night it is full of tourists and locals.Michael works every day, from 5 p.m. until late at night, so he’s free to spend time with his children every morning and also for a few hours after lunch.

Florence, Italy – Paolo Woods (46), Enea (5) and Sara (2)
Paolo was born in Holland, of a Dutch mother and a Canadian father, but, when he was only two months old, his family moved to Florence, where he lived for 20 years before he started traveling the world as a photographer. For the last 15 years his home bases have been first Paris and then Haiti. It was on that Caribbean island that he and his partner Sabali conceived their first son, Enea. About 3 years ago, Paolo and his family came back to live in Italy, in the city that Dante called home, and that is where their daughter Sara was born.
Every day, Enea and Sara go to a special preschool, called “the preschool in the forest.” It is a place high up in the hills surrounding Florence, a preschool where children play in the woods, walk around in the fresh air and learn to recognize plants and animals. Paolo takes them there every morning on his bicycle, 15 km uphill on the way and 15 km coming back (downhill this time, luckily). “It’s one of the best moments of the day. We listen to music and sing as we slowly get further away from the city. Plus, besides having a great time with my kids, it's one way to keep a little bit in shape!”

He speaks four languages perfectly. “My son Daniel loves to climb. Ever since he was a small baby he has been climbing everywhere in the house. That is why I decided to bring him to climbing lessons two years ago. Now, even my daughter Flavia and I love climbing, and we all come here at least twice a week. Flavia also loves swimming. When I have time, I go to the pool with her. Otherwise, my wife Sara goes.”

He’s mostly only able to spend time with them on weekends, which he loves spending with his children.

It was there that he met and immediately married his wife. Shortly after the wedding, he went back to live in Dubai, taking his wife and mother-in-law with him. Both of his children were born in the Emirates and have never been to Syria, because, in the time since they left, war has broken out in their native land. “I suffer a lot over the state of my country, and I suffer even more because I cannot take my children there. Still, every day when I come home from work and get to spend a couple of hours with my children, I love to tell them stories of Syria and let them experience some of my own memories.”

Naturally, they have also become his children's playthings. For the moment, Noah is exhibiting a distinct preference for the drums. David was born into an international family, and in his home the language is constantly switching between Italian, French, English and Hebrew.

Barcelona, Spain - Jordi Luque (38) and Rai (4)

His blog is the most widely read in Catalonia. Jordi also writes a lot of critiques for the most important magazines in Spain. He loves to bring his son, Rai, to eat at restaurants with him. “I want to educate my son in good food. I like to share my meals with him and ask him what he thinks.

Once it was done, the family had no choice but to accept it.He works directly from home, as a local internet provider for the areas of Wadala and Sewree. He's been doing this job for 2 years. He used to work at a local cable provider, but then, as he saw the demand for Internet access increasing more and more, he got the idea of starting his own business. He currently has 600 customers. Business is good and he wants to expand.Rizwan loves his daughters. His family were the only ones at the hospital who were happy about having girls. Unlike most people where he is from, he feels girls are gifts from God. “Everybody want to have boys. They think they may support you and your family!I would like my older one to become a doctor. For the little one, I’d like her to get into something related to Islam, but I’m open to whatever she may want to do in life.”

Xiamen, China – Gu Tao (36) and Gu Zi Auxan (5)
Tao and his son Zi Auxan are originally from Beijing. “This is the first time we’ve come to this park here in Xiamen. We usually go to a garden closer to the sea. When we were coming here we saw that there were some children playing on this hill, sliding down on some kind of sleds made of plastic. It looked like a lot of fun and we decided to try it right away. I think this is going to become our favorite pastime for the next few weeks,” Tao tells me. He works in electronics, and his speciality is fine-tuning the electronic components of industrial machinery.

Port-au-Prince, Haiti – Ilio Gezmeil (40), Donalson (17), Wisline (11) and Mirma (2)

From age 15 to 30 he was a construction worker, but then he decided to change jobs and become a motorcycle-taxi driver, because he says he can earn a little more doing this. He starts work every day at 5 in the morning, driving customers around on his motorcycle until at least 8 at night. He isn’t at home much, so he spends very little time with his children. Sunday afternoon is his only time off and he loves to spend it with them. They love for him to take them around on his motorcycle. “It's a little like working,” he says, “but doing it with my children is much nicer.”

Kuldiga, Latvia – Eriks Oficier (43) and Renate (8)
Eriks was born and raised in a small village in the middle of the dense forests in the western part of Latvia. He spent his entire life there, although he recently moved to Kuldiga, a slightly bigger town. His grandfather was a carpenter, and he worked on the construction of Kuldiga Castle. “I always looked at my grandpa as a hero. I loved the idea that he built the castle, and that is why I decided that I wanted to be a carpenter, too.”Now, Eriks has his own workshop. He works mainly with wood. He builds furniture for houses and he also teaches carpentry to the children at a small school.“My daughter Renate loves to help me with my work and play with some of the tools that I have here in the shop. She come here every time she doesn’t have school. Together we build little objects for the house and sometimes even toys. She also loves the noise of the machines that I have here and she often asks me to turn them on even when I don’t need to use them.”

Rio De Janeiro, Brazil – Vik Muniz (55), Francesco Bonelli (12), Dora (4)
Vik Muniz is a famous Brazilian artist. He recently broke out of the niche of “alternative” artists, bursting onto the public stage with his film lixo extraordinário, which was nominated for an Oscar and received many other prestigious awards. It’s a little difficult to put a finger on exactly what it is Vik Muniz does, because he has been experimenting and inventing for many years, always avoiding traditional mediums and materials. For instance, instead of traditional oil painting on canvas, he “paints” small-scale works using sugar, peanut butter or liquid chocolate. On a larger scale, he “paints” by assembling groups of objects, sometimes very large objects. Some of his works grow quite large, such as his triptych representing the world, made up of technological waste (old computers and peripheral devices, telephones, etc.), which measures 50 x 210 meters. In this photo, Vik is shown with his daughter Dora, born 4 years ago from his marriage with Malù, and with Francesco Bonelli, Malù’s son from a previous marriage. Vik loves to play with his children in the garden of his house.

Austin, Texas - Timothy Klatt (32), with his children Ogden (6), Amity (4) and Lillian (5 months)

Every day I was busy, finding solutions for a lot of interesting problems! But, after four years, I felt like I needed to do something different.” He decided to change his life and so, recently, he opened a brewery. “Beer is my great passion. I love the chemistry behind beer. That’s why I decided to start making it. I studied a lot for this and I also did a lot of experimenting, and now I’m really happy with the beers I produce. They are really good.”Timothy enjoys bringing his children to the brewery to play. He also teaches his children the beer recipes and he likes that they are learning how to make them. “Sometimes they help me with the work and I love that.”

New Taipei City, Taiwan – Chang Lin Tsai (38) and Ming Shiang Tsai (4)

His job is also where he met the woman who is now his wife, and with whom he has a son, born 4 years ago. Chang Lin loves taking his son to the park every day.“Ming Shiang loves to climb trees. He’s not afraid of anything, and if I weren't paying attention he would climb all the way to the top. I prefer reading books to him. Actually, he likes that, too, but not for longer than half an hour!”

Sharjah, U.A.E. – Amel Sharief (45), Alma (11), Leena (9), Aya (4) and Mohamed (2)

Their children were all born in Dubai but, at least once a year, Amel is able to take them to Sudan for a couple of weeks. “I’m very proud of my origins and I would also like my children to have a chance to know the country we come from better. My deepest desire is to one day be able to bring my whole family back to Sudan.” Amel loves bringing his children to play in a park by the seaside and watching the sunset together.

She says she can fly it higher than the houses I build.”

Mumbai, India – Tirupati Pogla (32) and Yashika Pogla (5)
Tirupati was born and raised in Mumbai. Ever since he was a young man he has worked as a personal driver, a job he still does today. He met his wife, Sapna, when they were both in college. Six years ago they got married. Theirs was a marriage of love, not an arranged marriage, something that is unfortunately still not very common in India. Tirupati runs marathons. He runs in at least 3 every year. Sometimes he takes his daughter running with him, even though he says it’s still too early for her to begin training. One thing they love to do together is to go and pray at the temple of Lord Hanuman. “I used to waste my time when I was young, loitering around and not doing anything, but ever since I started praying to Hanuman everything has gone well for me and my life has changed for the better. This is why I want my daughter to get in the habit of coming here often.

He owns an electronics shop in a working-class neighborhood of Mexico City. Sergio and his 3 kids love going to the “lucha” (Mexican wrestling) every Friday night. “My children love this show. They dream of becoming fighters. Sometimes they try to design their own masks. Then, they jump on the bed imagining they’re in the ring. It is really fun to see them doing this.”

Bogotá, Colombia – Manuel Villa (39), Elias (2) and Lila (7 months)
Manuel is a successful architect in Bogotá, the city where he was born and raised. His firm provides jobs for 4 people, a fact of which he is very proud. “I am happy to do my job. I love it, but I’m even happier to be able to give jobs to 4 other architects as passionate about their work as I am,” he tells me. Two years ago, Manuel became a father for the first time, and then again 7 months ago. He loves going with his two children on walks in the forests near the city. “We love being surrounded by nature. My family also has two homes in the country, where we have animals and fields. My children, especially Elias, the eldest, love to spend time there and to play with the cows.”

Male, Maldives – Hussain Riyaz (32) and Aishath Eshal (7)
Hussain was born on H.Dh.Nolhivaram, a small atoll north of the Maldivian capital. When he was two years old, he and his family moved to Male, the only real city in the archipelago. From the time he was a child he dreamed of becoming a police offer and, luckily, he was able to make his dream come true. He works a lot, which is why he'd like to find a way to move to a smaller island, where his job as a police officer would be a quieter one. He has two children, a 7-year-old girl and a 6-month-old boy.“Ever since my son was born, taking care of Aishath Eshal has fallen largely to me. The baby stays mostly at home with his mother, while I go outside to play with my daughter. She loves swimming in the sea, so we often come to the only beach there is here in Male, which, unfortunately, is an artificial beach. I find it pretty ridiculous that, in the capital of the Maldives, there’s only one beach and that it’s fake... still, it’s a nice place and we like coming here very much.”

Portland, Oregon, USA – Galen Malcolm (24) and his son Leon (3)
Galen studied sociology and graphic design, but now he works in a restaurant. He’s also one of the most well-known graffiti artists in Portland. When he was 19, he had a child with his girlfriend. They are not together anymore, so Leon spends 50% of his time with his father and 50% with his mother. Galen recently started making little paintings, which he then shows and sells in galleries. “I love to paint with my child and teach him to draw. He’s really good. I think he has a talent for drawing. Who knows? Maybe he’ll become a much better artist than me,” Galen says, smiling.

Abrico Beach, Brazil – Johnny (34) and Thales (2)
Johnny was born 34 years ago in Minas Gerais, but he has lived near Rio de Janeiro for about 10 years. He works as a truck driver and is often away from home. “Unfortunately, I don't have much free time to spend with my son. Sometimes I’d like to bring him along with me in my truck, but then I realize that it wouldn’t be a good idea at all,” he tells me, laughing. On weekends, he loves to come to the beach with his wife and son.“I discovered this naturist beach not too long ago. Here in Brazil, there aren’t many of them, unfortunately. I like to be naked here and, together with my son, to experience this sensation of freedom and total contact with nature.”
