It's an odd position to be in, where you are right now, still able to swim, pondering those of us standing on the shore and wondering how you'll stand it! Reminds me of how I used to say to Dad that anyone who watched our hyper-vigilant neighbour cleaning his roof every wekk would never want to own a house . . . there are other ways to own a home, or to parent a child, and maybe you'll find a way to keep Nola safe and do your own swimming. Time will tell. . .<br />Alison: In case you hadn't twigged to this, Bronwen is the relatively new mom who will be watching my granddaughter Nola swim. Perhaps she'll be like LPC, above, and I'll photograph Nola watching her mom head into the water. . .materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-80023176468140865862009-09-04T13:44:53.141-07:002009-09-04T13:44:53.141-07:00I am actually blushing!
I have made a mental note...I am actually blushing!<br /> I have made a mental note regarding Etsy, but the time... Still I have coped with Flickr, so who knows.<br /><br />Bronwen, I dare not go in with them, or should I say the youngest, as it is so much easier to raise an alarm whilst dry!<br />That week, 11 people were taken out on a rip tide just up the coast. Each year many have to be rescued and some die so stand and watch it is.indigo16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16982477144454205765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-31512917481329148272009-09-04T10:18:02.708-07:002009-09-04T10:18:02.708-07:00I think I am too much of a waterbaby to enjoy thes...I think I am too much of a waterbaby to enjoy these photos! I can't look at them without wondering how you could possibly be watching anyone play or swim in the water without getting in yourself! ;)<br /><br />BronwenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-5666827109062903352009-09-04T08:00:30.787-07:002009-09-04T08:00:30.787-07:00LBR: London gallery, opening night, Alison dressed...LBR: London gallery, opening night, Alison dressed in her creative flowy stuff, you and me flying in for the show . . . what do you think? Fun, no? <br />LPC: That triangle (step(grand)mother-daughter-mother) does make an interesting commentary on the original/expected . . . I think the archetype is so strong at least partly because it happens in such a liminal space, not really water, not really land . . . so watching the identities play with permutations and possibilities, switch roles, etc., would get interesting as well.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-85446804324828725072009-09-03T18:47:44.311-07:002009-09-03T18:47:44.311-07:00Oddly, my stepmother the photographer took a photo...Oddly, my stepmother the photographer took a photo of my daughter in this pose. Watching me, her mother, venture into the surf. It's an archetype, and as such its permutations can be as strong as the original. I think. I hope. I don't know.LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-67656380351597929172009-09-03T14:25:46.020-07:002009-09-03T14:25:46.020-07:00I am a BIG fan of Indigo's work.

I am hoping that Indigo will show these works to some galleries. They are that good, and I do think they are their most powerful when seen all together.La Belette Rougehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686717070120116918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-85072607748316484622009-09-03T10:53:21.891-07:002009-09-03T10:53:21.891-07:00Great idea, Etsy!Great idea, Etsy!Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.com
