Go-cart, first attempt

The boys and Sappho built themselves a vehicle of sorts today. It was quite inventive, really, and by 5pm they were ready to test drive it, quickly coming to the realization that 5l gravel-filled plastic bottles do not make the best wheels. Still, they had fun doing it and it kept them busy in a constructive way. I scrapped and Nick played with the camera, experimenting with colours and tones.In the late afternoon Nick assumed his altar ego, as with a flourish of apron and brandishing of tongs he emerged as…BBQ Man (dramatic music and thunder clap). Well, he didn’t really cook the chicken legs and porkies with his heat-vision, but they were still super, man.

The angle of that last shot is fantastic! :)

I would love to see the bracelet you have on close up!

The BBQ shot is simply brilliant! You have such a great sense of design. Many people can make the camera work but you know what to DO with it. Know what I mean?
