Nice one Craig.
You'll be quoted in 'The Guardian' next! ;-)

Miss recently 8 read The Lion in the Meadow to me tonight.
The mother went on peeling the potatoes.
Who knew such simple words could carry so much poignancy.

Edit: my all-time Veils King-hit
This be mine. Bit sad, but love the starkness of this performance.

Muse: OPEN HOUSE: Margaret Mahy, The…, in reply to Bart Janssen,
I am continually astonished at the wide reach of this community.
And I love the way that a group that can spend time arguing vociferously about, well anything, can so quickly become so serious and genuinely caring.

Capture: Going LA LA at Auckland Town Hall, in reply to Damian Christie,
What lens/settings were you using here Jackson? Flash? Great pics, something I'm almost never able to replicate when I'm doing live music shooting...
Hi Damian. Thanks for the comments.
Canon 60D with a Canon L Series 24 - 105 lens on f 4, no flash. (Not allowed)
The ISO ranged from 1600 - 3200, and I was shooting at around 80th to 125th of a second. The low light ones were tricky, but at times there was quite a good level of illumination on stage. The other thing I seem to do, as alluded to in post, is take HEAPS of pictures. 150 or so on the night.
Sorry for slow response Ian. ;-)

Busytown: “Glory! Glory! There’s the salt!”, in reply to Carol Stewart,
Much loved, to within an inch of their existence. We would normally have 'recycled' books that had been consumed to this extent, but couldn't part with these.
Dickensian or Shakesperian - Mahian?
Mahyem? I just wrote 'lost in the Mahyem' elsewhere in regards to the many wonderful tributes being written about MM.

this weekend
That works incredibly well Jos. Best use of an animated gif I’ve seen in a long time.
Sit down by the fire.

Muse: OPEN HOUSE: Margaret Mahy, The…, in reply to Danielle,
My older son is obsessed with A Lion in the Meadow and I’ve read it to him literally hundreds of times.
We read that to the twins until they could 'read' it back to us while we turned the pages. Well before they could actually read of course.
Now at 10 they have just started reading through some of her other works. I'm surprised by how little of her YA and other stories I have read. Something to look forward to I guess, with some sadness also.

Capture: Two Tripods, One Night, in reply to Geoff Lealand,
Jackson; should I still think of doing a theme on NZ cinemas sometime? Happy to do so–maybe in a couple of weeks, after teaching has settled into a rhythm. My http://cinemasofnz.info site is getting rather large.
Hi Geoff. Did you get my email a week or so back? Yes, still keen for that when you can. Just when suits.
Same for you Chris. We're not going anywhere.

Great stuff Chris. Email address below if you do have a collection of 10 or so photos you think would work as a lead post. With a bit of commentary maybe.
Capture goes international. That could work.
Haha! I just saw the detail of that sign.
