Ok, so this is not photography related but as a single father of a teenage daughter I was moved to post this...
Mark Harris is a Fathers for Justice activist in the UK, my motherland, where it appears child custody and fathers rights are still stuck in the middle of last century. Read his, and his daughter's, story here.

Nazi propaganda
Despite the argument that these images are unrepresentative and undoubtedly Nazi propaganda, I would love to see the exhibition of Andre Zucca's wartime colour photographs, "Some Parisians under the Occupation" (orginally titled "Parisians under the Occupation") currently on show in Paris.
TIME Magazine talks about the controversy here
Although the images only show smiling happy Parisians going about their daily lives seemingly oblivious to the war and Nazi occupation (which we know is nothing more than PR) the photos promise to be quite fascinating.
Andre Zucca was possibly the only photographer shooting colour film in Paris at the time so this collection is quite unique. The restoration on these images was also a major feat and is discussed in an article in this month's PDN , however you will need a subscription to read it online.
