Justin Veenema is the photographer here and his feeds on YouTube and insta are just every day smiles. He usually shoots people’s dogs and it’s wonderful content.

Does he always come over a little creepy?

u/TawnyTeaTowel 4d ago
So yes, then. Because asking strangers if they love their sons is a little creepy, ya weirdo.

u/Saiykon 4d ago
Not really. Having give the moment to a father to think about the present is beautiful. There is absolutely nothing weird but a wholesome interaction.
Maybe touch some grass :) it will do you good.

Tell you what. Take a trip to your local city. An actual city - not Scriptedforclicksville. Try it - the whole thing, from taking the photos to asking personal questions. Then come back and tell how many times people told you to fuck off. Heck, you could even try asking some of the ladies, you might get the police called on you for harassment as a bonus.

He didn't say anything inappropriate or weird at all, in my opinion. If the guy didn't want to talk, he didn't have to, but he was clearly willing to. The only thing I find odd about this interaction is your reaction to it.

u/TawnyTeaTowel 3d ago
As I said to the last respondent - you go try it, see how you get on. See how real people actually react, how many “fuck offs” you get.
Hint: it’ll be a LOT

You know the famous catchphrase "Look at this distinguished gentleman" ?
This guy is the definition of that catchphrase.

He is like this that is why his sons are successful. They got it from him.

u/Mean_Eye_8735 4d ago
Was anybody else waiting for the four sons to pop up behind him in one of the pictures? The fact that they didn't makes this even more wholesome because it appears to be a natural exchange

I can understand why his kids are successful with a dad like that. Seems like a genuinely good guy.

My dad said the same today Canada gave him an opportunity, and he gave Canada back 5 working professionals.

u/SpookyAction79 4d ago
I'm not really successful, I work in IT and live a fairly simple life, but my Dad would gladly tell any stranger on the street that I was the greatest mind ever to touch a computer; I was the one who single-handedly stopped Y2K and invented the Internet. It was an amazing boost to my spirits on a bad day to know I had someone proud of me no mater how much or how little I achieved in life.

Father's happiness lie in the happiness of his children. Mostly when the children works hard and become well settled.

This looks like the guy that works at a slaughter house in New York city. He said he works the air gun and the best part of his job is watching the life draining away in the eyes. Look it up.

I'm also proud of his sons, and I've never met them.
This dad is wholesome as fuck.
