Sawing Locust
My 5 year old son Obediah helped me document the sawing of a hefty locust log yesterday. The creative shot above is one of his.
The Old Puppet
My son asked, “can you get that little man down?” He sits on a shelf in my workshop.
When I wanted to be a ventriloquist my Granddad guided me in building this fellow.
He is very good at yelling and being surprised.
Simple but effective pivoting jaw and head, and swinging limbs.
