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.

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.

Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it...

I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral...

There was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong.

Here is a self portrait. I’m calling it Portrait of a lady in a dirty window . Shocking, isn’t it? However, it is apt! Samhain , Nos Galan Gaeaf , Hop-tu-Naa , All Saints , All Hallows , Hallowmas , Hallowe'en or HALLOWEEN . It’s Theme Thursday and we’re talking about the festivals traditionally held at the end of the harvest season. Huh? No wonder Australians have trouble with the concept of HALLOWEEN. For the record, in my thirty-two L O N G years on the planet, I can’t say I’ve ever seen ghosts ‘n goblins, trick ‘n treaters or Michael Myers stalking Tasmania’s streets at the end of October. [That said, I did once see a woman as pale as a ghost turning tricks that looked like Michael Myers in late November one time.] Despite the best efforts of Hollywood, sitcoms, and innumerable companies; it seems Australians are impervious to the [ahem] charms of a corporatized variant of a celebration of the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darke...

In dreams begin responsibilities.

A life at sea, that's for me, only I just don't have the BREAD. That's right, Theme Thursday yet again and I post a photo of a yacht dicking about in Bass Strait just off Wynyard. The problem is, I am yet again stuck at work, slogging away, because I knead need the dough . My understanding is that it is the dough that makes the BREAD. And it is the BREAD that buys the yacht. On my salary though, I will be lucky to have enough dough or BREAD for a half dozen dinner rolls. Happy Theme Thursday people, sorry for the rush.
