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.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

I'd like to show some pictures of the big day. Eoin was a star. As were his classmates and friends. And their teacher is entirely terrific. Perhaps we will write on this a little later.

Connor's 3rd birthday already

Connor and some of his friends celebrating his third birthday in Isham Park. You can just about see the top of Claire's delicious cake. Yum!

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.

Red Hoodie

It was just after making this shot that I realised that he didn't have his safety helmet. But back then he was just getting started on his balance bike. Now, however, he goes so fast on the thing that he must have his helmet all the time.

This is in Isham Park, right across the street from our building.
