Who do you capture?

When you take a portrait, whose personality are you capturing?

Waterfight shots!

Our 12 Year old....

Continuing on from the Zaklander post.
The benefits of lots and lots of swimming combined with some genetics I suppose.

Not to be opened if squeamish....

A couple of weeks ago Ruth was doing her morning walk, and phoned me to come and photograph something.

The something turned out to be a python eating a possum...
Not something you see every day.

Photos straight out of the camera.... they might need a touch of sharpening before I subject the camera club people to them....

Zaklander

I asked Zak to help me with another photo....
but of course it was impossible to get the photo I wanted before he threw in a Zaklander, "Blue Steel".

Whippersnipper Kid

Never too young to get them helping around the house!
If my nephew is going to stay with us, he is going to earn his keep!

Decommission

20 years ago, we built a machine  (actually we built three machines - but this one was first among equals.)  The particular machine's name was "Audrey", named after the man eating plant from the Little Shop of Horrors.  She had tried (and failed) to eat a number of us during the commissioning.

Now after making in the order of 20000000 products for the company, it has now been decommissioned.

As the original engineers who thought her up, built her and made her run, it was a bittersweet moment for Ian and me.
