Back Flip in Back Garden – © PAUL TREACY 2012
Connor takes a break from his football practice to watch his neighbour perform a back flip.
It has been way too long since any of us posted to this blog. I will try to rectify that. I will, we all will try to blog regularly from now on and especially over the summer.
Some blog posts will appear on Eoin's blog or even Connor's blog as they will have things to show, drawings, Lego constructions, animations and the like.
So I hope to see some comments and perhaps some links to posts by others among you.
Hope all are well and we'll see you again soon.
Paul, Claire, Eoin and Connor.

Connor, Dad (Kevin), Mum (Angela) and Eoin
It has been ages since any of us have posted here. We'll try to get back into the flow.
I'll resume with an image of my parents, Keving and Angela with the two lads taking a short break on a bench outside the cafe in Crystal Palace Park where we were soon the have ice creams. Connor had just previously bloodied his poor knees but was none the less proud of his wounds. And how about those holes?

Back soon with more material.

Resumption of family blogging
So sorry that we've not blogged anything for so many months. Time to change that.
I'm not sure where to start. How about with some recent shots? Will get to other matters soon enough.
Last night Eoin bellowed down from his bed, "THE FOURTH DEATH JUST HAPPENED!" He read a condensed Macbeth in one session.
While either Eoin or Connor is attending an after school activity, we play tennis with wooden bats while we wait. Here's Connor whacking away at me.I'm not sure where to start. How about with some recent shots? Will get to other matters soon enough.

Here's Connor munching on an apple. It's quite difficult keeping him fed at the moment.
As soon as we get home they need MORE food. You can see the effect it has on Connor.
And wrapping up the post is a spooky, shadowy Eoin upstairs.
I'll be back soon with Eoin's invitation to his party this weekend. He'll be 9 on Tuesday. Already!
Here are some links to explore.

Exhibition at Strand Gallery (Proud Central)
I'm delighted to announce that my work is to feature in an exhibition of the London Independent Photography group at the Strand Gallery (Proud Central) here in London between 20th and 30th October 2010, just a week away.
32 John Adam Street, London WC2N 6BP. Monday - Saturday 11am - 7pm. Free.
Three photographs will hang, including this one above of Connor sucking on a lollipop near the multiplex cinema in Peckham, south London. (He doesn't even like lollipops much and I don't think he finished this one.)
I'm hoping to use this opportunity to secure a solo show either at this same gallery or similar.
If you're in London over this period then I hope you'll come see it.
Many thanks.

ARROW 360 - The Go-Cart Project
Over the summer my sons and I built this go-cart. Most of the materials used were found while walking home from school over a period of many weeks.
It was an opportunity for me to teach them about preparing materials, using tools, realizing a concept and a practical application of simple mathematics.
It was also a golden opportunity for us to make a cool little movie. Of course, we just had to reference the BBC title sequence for their Formula One Motor Racing coverage. And I hope Fleetwood Mac won't mind my including a segment of The Chain because nothing comes close for this subject matter.
Cameras: Olympus E-PL1 (with Nikkor prime lenses) and Nikon D200.
Software: Photoshop, Nikon View, GarageBand and iMovie 09.
Hardware: Apple MacBook.

Mourning a Dead Fox
Recently Connor and I came across a dead fox at the end of our road. We see lots of foxes around here. Several a week, in fact. It's very exciting. They are such beautiful creatures. Whether you think of them as pests or not, they are still very beautiful.
This one was not hit by a car so may have died of illness or old age. It's coat had been in lovely condition.
Connor needed to linger for quite some time. He was very quiet for a while then started asking lots of questions such as whether or not this particular fox would ever live again.
I wouldn't say he was upset, necessarily, rather he was a little sad but mostly curious and thoughtful. It was an interesting experience.
I don't think I'll ever forget this brief encounter we had with the unfortunate creature. Connor might but I won't.

Parkour Documentary Film Project
I have so much material to post here that I'll need to set aside a day just to organize it. I hope I can do that this coming weekend. I have a virtual tour of our house and the space around it to show. I have a play fighting video of the two lads which is a hoot. I have loads and loads of recent photographs to upload as well. Claire too has some images on her Blackberry that I'd like to post here. And of course there's all the art work that the two lads have been churning out recently. Some of it is rather good. Connor in particular is making rapid artistic progress with his bold style.
Anyway, today's post is a blatant attempt at promoting my documentary film project. I need some equipment to get this project off the ground. I can get started with just GB£600 and I'm on my way to reaching that goal. I have set the fundraising to $2000 to help towards the software and external hard disk costs and to pay an editor to make final checks before release.
I have two distributors already in place for this project. I'm currently preparing a proposal for submission to a major software manufacturer that licensed my work previously as they have expressed interest in my projects. However, such a potential deal might involve surrendering some directorial control which would not be ideal. So if I can secure some initial funding through crowd sourcing then I'm all clear to make the film exactly as I want it.
There are several levels of support available. Even just a single dollar would be hugely appreciated. Any contribution above $5 gets the full hi-res download of the finished film to play in your device of choice along with hi-res, personal use downloads of your favorite photographs from the project. Click the widget below for full project details.
If you have any friends or colleagues who might be interested in investing is such a project as this, then please share.
Many thanks.

SWINGING SUPERHERO CONNOR
I made this shot yesterday. It's Connor. Thought I'd share it.
I hope to scan in some of the lads' recent drawings in the next couple of weeks as soon as I get past a couple of grant deadlines. Before that I'll likely post some more photos. Some from Ireland last summer and some from this Easter break.
Back soon.
