"In all affairs it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted."
Bertrand Russell
It’s a moment no parent wants to contemplate: How will my children live without me?
But that’s the question Bruce Feiler faced when doctors told him he had a rare and serious form of bone cancer. Feiler, a New York Times best-selling author, immediately worried about his young twin daughters. In The Council of Dads: My Daughters, My Illness, and the Men Who Could Be Me – slated for release April 27 – he describes that moment:
Father and Daughter“Would they wonder who I was? Would they wonder what I thought? Would they lack for my approval, my discipline, my voice?”
Then he realized how he could give that to them even if he wasn’t there. He appointed a Council of Dads, men from different stages of his life who would try to fill his role. He reached out to these men in a letter that spelled out his wishes.
“I believe my daughters will have plenty of opportunities in their lives,” he wrote. “They’ll have loving families. They’ll have welcoming homes. They’ll have each other. But they may not have their dad. Will you be their dad?”
In some ways, he said in a recent interview, the book provides “lessons for how to live your life from somebody who almost died.”
“There is a very core way in which living life is about cheating death,” he said. “Being reminded you’re not going to live forever … accelerates that impulse to do something permanent.”
Feiler set some early rules for his council: no family, only friends. No women, only men. He wanted council members to represent different elements of his personality. He wanted a dad to take his girls to a sporting event, a dad to buy them a ridiculous future gadget we can’t even fathom, a dad who would sit through the dance recitals.
He found six men to fill his many roles: a nature-loving dad, a travel dad, camp counselor dad. He also wanted them to come from different times his life: the childhood pal, the book agent, the college friend. They all accepted the challenge, sometimes poignantly. Feiler writes that one council member, who lost his own father when he was a child, said, “The most important thing a parent can do, I believe, is water a child profusely with love. I would water your children with love.”
Another told Feiler that by creating a council, he had ensured that his voice would never be forgotten because his girls would be surrounded “with voices that will, in the totality of symphony, create sounds of their father.”
Because there are six dads, even if each only sees the girls twice a year, that’s a visit a month. It’s a way of divvying up responsibilities, Feiler said, “I see it as updating godparents for contemporary time.”
Now Feiler wants to take his concept worldwide, He’s encouraging others to set up councils via his website www.councilofdads.com. He has partnered with the National Fatherhood Initiative and is working to put how-to pamphlets on 1,500 military bases for members of the armed forces.
Council of Dads“It resonates with them because they spend time away from their children and it’s a professional hazard that they might die,” he said.
On his website, people can download a tip sheet on how to start your own council, but Feiler stresses there are no hard and fast rules. “My thing is to be a catalyst and let people do what they want,” he said. Already, his friends are taking things in different directions. His wife has set up her own council of moms. A male friend even put a dead man on his council, telling his children, “If you want to understand me, read Thomas Jefferson.”
Today, after a year of treatments, Feiler is cancer-free, and his daughters don’t realize how close they came to losing him. The girls, Eden and Tybee, just turned 5. They like having six other dads, who flew in to New York recently from as far as Beijing to celebrate their birthday.
“What’s powerful is that it builds a bridge between your friends and family,” Feiler said. “They’re not just Daddy’s friends. They’re their friends, too.”
The girls have formed unique relationships with the men, ones Feiler hadn’t foreseen. “Tractor Jeff” took them for a ride on his farm equipment. “Chocolate Chip David” baked with them.
“The council of dads is something I did when I was sick that I wish I’d done when I wasn’t,” Feiler said. “The best way to be happy is to encounter death every day. It gives you an urgency to living that is almost a universally positive thing in your life.”

A companion shot to 'Bright Eyes'. This one is more or less the same, shot a little brighter and edited to have a less gritty feel, but the expression still makes it a pretty non-traditional galm shot.
I tend to lean to exposing things to the left of the histogram (underexposed). Just a tendency I have, most people tend to go to the right and blow things out. For these sorts of studio shots with a lot of pale skin and a white background (specifically a glossy shower) getting the exposure balanced is interesting to say the least, but I really do love the look of a nice, bright glam shot like this.
Shot with my D300 and 50 f/1.4, two SB-600 flashes triggered via CLS. Both with diffusers, one camera right and close, pointed down at the model and the second camera left and high, over my shoulder pointed a little higher.
Editing was done in Lightroom and Photoshop. Basics in Lightroom and then the B&W added as a layer and then removed from the areas I wanted to have colour.
