Well, it's been a busy day - the sun was shining and it definitely felt like an early spring day. After the dogs were walked it was straight back home to gather grapefruit (third crop this year), prune the grapefruit tree, remove a dead tree (which subsequently meant playtime with both the chainsaw and wood chipper), followed by mowing the lawns and another walk for the dogs. All of this and excessively handsome, witty and intelligent as well...it's so difficult being me that I now feel something like the old wreck in this shot. And yes, "they" actually let me use a chainsaw...
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
Graeme, it's hard for me to explain why but this shot talk to me a lot. It's if I have the chance to know you better. There is a bit of everything I think I know about you through your project. Maybe you know or not but I fell this shot is you. And I love it!

"Oh lord its hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I cant wait to look in the mirror
I get better looking each day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man
Oh lord its hard to be humble
But I'm doin the best that I can."

"What a man, what a man, what a man
What a mighty good man"
love the image - am disturbed by the thought of you with a chainsaw - must admit I am disturbed by the thought of most people with a chainsaw
Remember not to stand on the thing you are cutting through/off is all the advice you need! Oh yes and don't run with it! Lovely shot although that white lump in the background is a distraction! :-)
