When we visited a Masai village in Kenya this little boy thought Martin’s beard was wonderful. Masai men aren’t very hairy, you see…
Sailor, / You’re my safe harbour / My anchor in a storm / The fair wind in my sails / My compass when I’m lost / An ocean of love / My crest of a wave / Like the tides, you come and go / Constantly / You’re my high tide when I’m low / I’m with you wherever you go / You have my love to see you through / I too, have yours / More than this I cannot ask / nor want…...................
In a recent fit of madness, I cut off my beard, the whole thing…if you don’t count a little Dizzy Gillespie soul patch action under the lower lip.. on me, it looks like a smear. I’ve had a beard almost as long as I’ve had eyebrows, I think…. Anyway, it seemed like a good idea at the time – all this talk about change wears you down – so I lopped it all off and, as I reported to a few friends in email, discovered a sort of depressed, underfed pigeon staring at me from the mirror…Then I remembered why some of us wear beards… I plan to grow it back – rubbing Rogaine on my chin as I write this…and, in all likelihood, as you read this…. One brave soul asked to see evidence of the naked visage… Since we aims to please, and since shawhouse is nothing if not photojournalist first, something else second, I took this snapshot….. Before you ask, yes, I touched it up a little in photoshop… shawhouse

Today we visited the Medieval Festival held at Gumeracha, in the Adelaide Hills. There were so many interesting people there, including this man, Keith, who makes silver jewelry and replica artifacts from the past. His particular love is viking history. He was dressed in period costume and his hair and beard were perfect – in fact he could have stepped out of a previous time. He was interesting to talk with, and kind enough to pose for me. I have layered his portrait with some textures to bring out the depth of the character in his wonderful face. Oh, and that is a great walking staff he is holding – a great weapon for defending oneself, if you have to. Canon 40D, Sigma 18-200 / various textures added in photoshop. This image featured in the group South Australian Artists in May 2009. Thanks so much! And featured in the group The Adelaide Hills in May 2009, thanks so much! And featured in the group Canon DSLR in May 2009, thanks very much! Yet another feature, in That’s Entertainment in June 2009. Thanks so much!

Frilly, flouncy irises always make me think of dancers so when I was trying to decide a name for this one, “Showdance” popped into my head! Watercolour on paper.
