I do what I have to do, although I don’t know why I have to.


Is that Paul Newman and Robert Redford?

A bit of post-production work in the endeavour to creative a 1960s film classic out of a photograph taken with difficult light. I'm considering it a success!

Is Ezra standing,or is there a trick of light? How much am I actually missing? Those two are growing faster than you and your brother. Although I didn't have the advantage of the internet way back then. Go away for three months, come home and you had both doubled in size. I don't know if it was natural, but that was the way it was. It is fantastic watching these two grow.

That's a brilliant picture!

This is the first time I think that Henry looks more like you than Jen.

Both the boys are looking deadly, dashing, dapper and,,,,, wet!! :-))

By the way, who are Paul Newman and Robert Redford??

I know only of Henry and Ezra, no one else comes closer!!!!!
Roddy said…
Just looking at the two young gentlemen in the bath and was taken to realise how Henry looks like a younger version of myself whilst Ezra has a definate tilt toward Ian.
The gene pool is definately working overtime.

What about Gregory Peck and Cary Grant?

Sniff..sniff...how come modern day actors don't look so nice :-P?

You can really create old masterpieces. Perhaps you should try that out as your profession.

Brian, kids are easy to write about.
Kris McCracken said…
Roddy, Ez can stand up now (while holding on to something). He will pass Henry in size soon...
Kris McCracken said…
Candie, they are good boys (deep down).
Kris McCracken said…
Jackie, the light in there was shocking, so I thought that I’d mix it up a bit.
Kris McCracken said…
Hallam, he is very good looking, you’re right.
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, I should hope that they are wet, being in the bath and all.
Kris McCracken said…
Roddy, definitely on drugs.
Kris McCracken said…
KL, I need a new job. Are there any going in your neck of the woods?

Lost inside an adorable illusion and I cannot hide, I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside, we could've made it cruising, yeah.

Yes it is Theme Thusday again, and today we are talking GLASS . I've three possible hooks to hang my [glass] hat on with this theme. First, the photo! Yes, it is the river again from an odd angle in an interesting light. You can just make out the bottom, which should tell you that I'm right on the shore. In some ways, the distortion of the stones below the surface reminds me of ye olde glass windows, what they call "cylinder blown sheet glass". You can still find some of this around Hobart these days. Thw second link comes from a trip I took to Venice a few years back. You're probably aware that Venice was (is?) a glass-making centre of excellence. If you have ever been there and taken the tour of the glass factories, you might be familiar with the sheer amount of coloured glass that sits at the bottom of the water there. These fragments of glass have been worn down and had their edges dulled by their time in the water, which makes them ample keepsakes for the ...

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

Happy anniversary baby, got you on my mind

No it is not a webcam, but this photograph was taken a mere forty-five ago on my way in to work. Here you can see a good old fashioned Hobart autumn morning, with the rain pelting down and me getting drenched. This one was taken on the corner of Macquarie and Elizabeth, while I was waiting for the lights to change. Come on Ampelmännchen ! Today is my wedding anniversary, an apparently I need to be showering Jen with leather -related goodies. Va-va-vaVOOM! To you Jennifer, here is a poem I wrote this very morning. Anniversary I love you i love you iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE you I love YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou Happy anniversary
