ECHOLILIA: The Spectrum of Childhood and the Documentation of a Relationship - Photographs by Father and Son.

Timothy Archibald, celebrated San Francisco based commercial photographer, struggled to connect with his five-year old firstborn, Eli, until Timothy started looking at his son through his camera.  Together, the two orchestrated a portrait series that documents the burgeoning of a newly charted relationship with his son.  Through their creative collaboration, empowerment came to both father and son.  Timothy found a way to dial-in to Eli’s different channel, thereby breaching the previously challenging obstacle posed by his son’s autistic proclivities.  And Eli found a powerful mirror both of his robust, imaginative childhood and his renewed bond with his dad.
