Portraits of Connor

Some portraits of Connor.

Here he is sucking on a lollipop having just been to see The Fantastic Mr. Fox at Peckham Multiplex with his brother and me. Funny thing is, neither he nor Eoin like lollipops much and so these were quickly discarded. They did insist on my buying them, however. I had offered them juicy apples and other such goodies, which they'd have devoured, but they wanted the sickly sweet lollipops which I knew they wouldn't really like.

Here he is having had his face painted, at the London aquarium I think. We made this picture as he was about to have it removed in the bath and he wanted to record it.

And finally for this posting, is a photo of him getting a hug from his best friend at school, Daniel.

Collaboration with Corel Corporation

Well, it had been in the making for many weeks and finally went live on Wednesday, 27th January 2010. Towards the end of last year I was contacted by a senior bod at Corel Corporation, fellow photographer and filmmaker, Tobie Openshaw. He was interested in the Flying Space Hoppers short film I made. He wanted to investigate the possibility of using the component images to design a tutorial on stop-motion animation for Corel customers. After conversing via Facebook and email we did a deal.

This is what they came up with at Corel;


Here is my updated original;


This is the full transcript of the tutorial they prepared. The link opens a new page.

I'd be interested to read your opinions of the project. Should you be interested in doing something similar, do read the tutorial and perhaps consider getting the software. I will install Windows on my Mac and give the software a try myself. You get enormous professional level capability for the price.

Thanks for visiting. Please return.

Spiderman and Blizzard

Connor on Christmas day in Warwick having just received a Spiderman costume. I love this picture. Such a Connor pose.
And Claire's smile is gorgeous.


Eoin and Connor making tracks through the snow on our new street in Sydenham.

I have so much to post here. Claire shot a short interview piece with Eoin that needs to be edited and I have loads of new pictures to work through.

New post also at my work blog at Photohumourist.com, should anyone be interested.
There's also my neighborhood blog at SydenhamShots.co.uk

Back soon. Hoping everyone had a happy holiday.

Happy new year.
Paul.
