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.

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.

Henry admires the view.

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

Zeal, n. A certain nervous disorder afflicting the young and inexperienced. A passion that goeth before a sprawl.

Here I have tried my hand at the homemade sepia-toned photo. I wasn’t happy with the way that the sun had washed out some of the colours in the original, so had a bit of a fiddle because I like the look on Henry’s face, and didn’t want to pass on posting it. I have a tip for those of you burdened with the great, unceasing weight of parenthood. I have a new recipe, in the vein of the quick microwaved chocolate cake . Get this, microwaved potato chips . I gave them a run on Sunday, Henry liked the so much I did it again last night. Tonight, I shall be experimenting with sweet potato. I think that the ground is open for me to exploit opportunities in the swede, turnip, carrot and maybe even explore in the area of pumpkins. Radical, I know. I’m a boundary-pusher by nature. It's pretty simple, take the potato. Slice it thinly (it doesn't have to be too thin, but thin enough). Lay the slices on the microwave plate, whack a bit of salt over the top and nuke the buggers for five minut
