SUBSCRIBESeries 33: All About My Father
Capt. Jose A Cabigas II, 1949 - 2006. This is a tribute to my father who just recently passed away. 15 photos of his things that I have found at home and in his luggage that came a few days after his body was brought back to the country. Things that make me remember and what represents him. Shuffling through his belongings, reading his notebooks, I just can’t help it but be emotional. I admit, I’m not that close to my father. In fact, he’s been away for more than half of my life braving the seas to give us a better life.
I hope that with this 15 photos, I can present my father through my eyes. And thanx to Pedro Almodovar, I borrowed his Todo sobre mi madre (All About My Mother) title which is a very good film.
Happy Father’s Day to all fathers out there!

This was quite touching. I happened upon it as my grandmother just passed away and I was reading through old family photo albums today. Keeping these visual memories of your father is a wonderful idea and will create a strong link to him for you.
God bless, Bill

This is quite moving. Like an songwriter composing a song. A poet writing a piece. An artist painting a masterpiece. You’ve used your talent as a photographer to capture your emotions and your love for your father. My hearfelt condolences.
