"A Father's Thankful Prayer"

The WPJA holds a contest every quarter and is open to all members internationally. Before this quarter noone from South Carolina had ever won. The photograph above won 3rd place in the Emotion Category in the WPJA 1st Quarter Contest. The award winning photograph was of Dr. Kenosha Clark and her father in Charleston during the father-daughter dance. Mr. William Clark, with tears mounting, looks toward heaven as if to thank God for the blessings in his daughter's life. Kenosha who married another Dr. from the Medical University of Charleston shared with me the limited amount of African American's attending the medical school. So I can only imagine how proud Mr. Clark felt at graduation last year when Kenosha was one of the handful of African-American graduates. Then to see Kenosha marry Dr. Doug Gleaton was another blessing especially since Doug is steadfast in his faith. But like I said I can only "imagine" what Mr. Clark was feeling while he danced with his daughter. But when Mr. Clark looks back on this photograph he will know exactly how he felt and what words he had with God. I am pleased to have been on this journey with Kensoha and Doug. This photograph was properly named "A Father's Thankful Prayer".
