This is Oliver! He had the day off school today with a headcold and I bribed him to stand still for a photo, then caught him later at the PC as well. Usually he legs it or pulls faces (much much worse than any of these!) as soon as the camera is on him. Doesn't look too unwell does he? Methinks he can go to school tomorrow! (This collage thing on Picasa is fun!)

Jodie & I made today's picture(s) happen together. I was tidying up some crafting things and these oversized sequins tipped out of a ripped bag onto the (clear for once) table top and I had an idea. These are linked sequins of about 1.25" diameter which were part of a bead-style doorway curtain. I hooked some of the strands over the window catch above the table, Jodie arranged and re-arranged them and made them move around while I took pictures, we had great fun experimenting with them, slow shutter speeds, with and without lights/flash, and then Jodie helped choose some of the best, I did a little cropping and tweaking - saturation and such, just in Picasa, and then created 2 collages (also in Picasa) and Jodie and I are thrilled with the results. You can see Jodie's reflection in one, and her moving hand in a couple of others. We had a great time playing with these!
