Afternoon sunlight piercing through the trees always makes for an arresting photograph. Ezra took this one from our front door step.
I am now scouting out a new camera to replace the dearly departed one. Any suggestions?
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...

I'm not a good judge of digital camera-ry, though - I still use film!
Next one. Have it engraved. And perhaps a set of handcuffs.
I'd use film if I had the time and/or money. It was once an intention of mine to have my own little darkroom, but that isn't very conducive to toddlers.
