Confused? Let me Explain What a CoParent Actually Is... :)

There are two meanings, a coparent can mean when two parents divorce or split up and then co-parent a child (look after a child living separately). Or it means when one party would like a child but is unable to conceive one in the conventional sense joins another party who want the same thing and can offer each other a solution and a chance to bring up and share in the conception of having a child together.

  

So for example a gay man or gay couple could have child with a lesbian and or her partner and a heterosexual couple who cannot conceive could have a child with a gay couple or gay single. The different ways it’s possible to co-parent list goes on!

 

It is a way for gay, lesbian or straight people who can’t conceive to have a child without using an anonymous sperm donor so the child can grow up knowing both it’s biological parents. Lots of people have done this through the ages with friends etc. In fact if you think of how humans were and have been in tribes and older cultures in western society we used to bring up children and families were larger, part of a village and large network where a child would be brought up by not just it’s parents, but the whole community, aunts, uncles, grandparents, friends etc etc

 

If you have any more questions regarding what a coparent is feel free to contact me any time!

Is it normal that everything he touches somehow turns into a gun?

Just taken delivery of Lambency flash diffuser (I just can't stand the idea of a flash drowning out an image) and have been playing around with it a bit - this is one of my first photographs.

 

This one is done with the amber cone - you have to set your camera to tungsten; pretty neat if you ask me - look at those skin tones. (Well, not on Superman)

 

Buying this kit (it's called the Lambecy Flash Diffuser) from www.extremeshop.co.za was a quick and easy affair, and rang in at 1/3 of the price it would have cost me to bring it in via the likes of wantitall.co.za. I couldn't find these things in local shops.

 

Here's a pretty thorough write-up of how it all works if you're interested. Now to use it "in the field" as it were.

 

Sparassidae aka rain spider aka huntsman (Seen in Johannesburg)

 

I believe some people keep them as pets!

That's his mother's finger, if ever I saw one.

What you do today has great meaning for his tomorrow.....

 

Even Alex (age 2) knows your name and can identify you (although he does get you a little mixed up with Will Smith).

 

I particularly liked the bit about "we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals"... Now we will see.

  

Why so serious, I asked.

 

Because Batman is serious, he said.

Like father, like son; probably much to the disgust of his mother. :-)

Halo collectible: So Alex asks me this morning how I know there aren't any more Halo minfigs to be found, and he wants more. (It's like a Lego collectible)

 

Me: "Because I've looked, and I haven't seen any more, no matter how much I've looked."

 

Alex: "But how long have you been looking?"

 

Me: "For a long, long time. I'm really old, you know."

 

Alex: "72 isn't old, dad."

 

Me: "Thanks, Alex. 72 is ancient."

 

Alex: "No, dad, Atlantis is ancient. You're not."

This is really just quite brilliant; turn your photographs into Polaroids, and no cumbersome or expensive Photoshop plug-ins or edits to mess with.

 

Shake it as it "develops" and see what happens.
