PLAYGROUND SHENANIGANS

Eoin and Connor messing around on a hot summer day at Indian Road Playground in Inwood. The end is hilarious. Turn up the volume.

Next up will be a short experimental, fast paced piece on the lads' new shoes. But it may take a few days to finish. After that I'll be taking a break to catch up with work again. Mind you, I see these as work as I develop new techniques to bring to my assignment work as it becomes more multimedia in nature.

Please enjoy.

Blossoming relationship

New material exploring a blossoming sibling relationship. Now that Connor is so much more articulate, they can communicate about all sorts of weird and wonderful things. They sometimes prefer each others company over friends. This body of work explores that.

Connor and his cars

I've finally come through the workload after my computer mishap and so will be back here regularly again with new posts. I'll ask Claire to write a few words from time to time as well. We have a lot going on at the moment and Claire can speak to this more eloquently that I.

In the mean time, here is Connor with his current favorite (for a few minutes at least), Dinoco McQueen.

Eoin's Audience

Eoin in our local playground is watched by his buddy
Alexander and Connor.

Connor, Darrian and an ant.

Here's Connor in the sand pit of our local playground on a hot yesterday, sneezing and hanging out with Darrian who has just captured an ant. A large ant. A very large ant. I didn't know they came this big in New York City.

Playground Film

This film was made for my parents for their 40th wedding anniversary. However, once you get past the initial greeting you get to see some fun playground shenanigans featuring Eoin, Connor and their friend, Eli who now lives in California. It was made in the summer of 2006, of course. They are all much bigger, faster, noisier and more articulate now and quite a bit more difficulty to keep up with. Please stick with it through the initial message. I think you'll agree it to have been worth the wait.

This version will be a little choppier than the previous QuickTime film but it will be easier for everyone to see. I ran it through LuluTV's translation matrix thereby converting it to a flash movie which is readable by every up-to-date web browser.

Connor holds his own

Little Connor doing his bit with the adults replacing the sand in the playground sand pit.

I love this picture.
