"Aeroplane Boy 2003"
- bronze
Aeroplane Boy is a delightful sculpture given to the Heide Museum of Modern Art by its maker, Dean Bowen. Born at Maryborough, in country Victoria, Bowen now lives and works in Melbourne.
As you can see from this link to the artist's web site, his sculpture and paintings are instantly recognisable stylistically.
Stick Boy is just one of the many names that runs off my tongue when I talk to Sammy. A few others are Wiggle Boy, Mr. Sammy, Sammy Boy, Little Samster, Scammy, and Mr. Stinky.

This statue hangs precariously over a valley ravine. Supposedly it symbolizes courage and is the artist's son depicted.
I have not read this book yet. It is heavy material and I have to be in the right mood to read something like this. I have dealt with people in my past that have had addictions and have attended Al-Anon meetings, so I know what it is like to go through an ordeal like this.
Here is what the inside of the cover said, author is David Sheff:
"When Nic was growing up, I thought I would be content with whatever choices he made in his life... Now I live with the knowledge that, never mind the most modest definition of a normal or healthy life, my son may not make it to twenty-one."
What had happened to my beauiful boy? To our family? What did I do wrong? Those are the wrenching questions that haunted every moment of David Sheff's harrowing journey through his son Nic's addiction to drugs and tentative steps toward recovery. Beautiful Boy is a fiercely candid memoir that brings immediacy to the emotional rollercoaster of loving a child who seems beyond help. Before Nic Sheff became addicted t crystal meth, he was a charming boy, joyous and funny, a varsity athlete and honor student adored by his two younger siblings. After meth, he was a trembling wraith who lied repeatedly, stole money from his eight-year-old brother, and lived on the streets. David Sheff traces the first subtle warning signs: the denial, the three A.M. phone calls (is it Nic? the police? the hospital?), the rehabs. His preoccupation with Nic became an addiction in itself, and the obsessive worry and stress took a tremendous toll. But as a journalist, he instinctively researched every avenue of treatment that might save his son and refused to give up on Nic. Beautiful Boy grew out of an article in the New York Times Magazine that drew an overwhelming response from readers grateful that Sheff had finally given voice to the devestating experience they shared. As the psychologist Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia, said in praise of Beautiful Boy, "When one of us tells the truth, he makes it easier for all of us to open our hearts to our pain and that of others."

Day 236 of 365 - No More Pictures
My nephew, Josh, was visiting this evening while his mom was in class. I took the opportunity to shoot him for my photo of the day. Though after taking this I was informed 'I don't Like to have my picture taken uncle Jeff.' I asked him why and he said 'I just don't' so this is the one I am posting. I think his expression matches his words pretty closely.
A boy stares at me as I photograph him on the edge of his boat in the fishing village of Ganvie in Benin, West Africa.
This little boy is about two weeks old. He and his mum are in a field at the bottom of my track with dad, a huge bull, and a few other family members...
I waited for about twenty minutes while he finished suckling - such a patient mother - before he turned around and began rubbing his face against his mum’s. It was very sweet to witness this interaction.

I was wandering along this narrow country lane, taking a few shots I could use for Saturday Self-Challenge theme "leading lines", when this idiot rounded the bend & sped past. He had intention of slowing down for pedestrians. Makes you wonder how they pass their driving test.
03/100 : My 100x photos this year will be taken in & around Tramore, a seaside town on the South East coast of Ireland.
Is it me or is Flickr really slow today? Taking ages to add tags.

Mennonite-Amish boy at the horse and buggy auction. He was an adorable sight - all dressed up in his Sunday best, all the while wearing wonderfully sturdy shoes, looking so small on this huge and strong-willed horse which he maneuvered quite well. I watched him in fascination for a long while.
Unfortunately, due to the distraction of a somewhat disabling nosebleed I didn't have the right frame of mind to ask him for a photo shoot, and also messed up all the photos of him taken as he passed back and forth.
Talking about a missed opportunity...

Outside on a hot summer afternoon, my son, River, was taking a break and snacking on his gummy bears. He flashed a mischievous smile at me as I sneaked a photo shot. This was taken during the midst of the pandemic. Although it was an anxious time, we took time to treasure moments outdoors together. I loved the expression captured on his face, and was thrilled to have this opportunity to draw him! I chose aqua, a tertiary color. The greener tone of the aqua seem to suggest mischief, while the darker blue tone sharpened his features.
