Janey's mushroom photo collection

Janey and I were thinking of interesting photo ideas when she came up with the great idea of phtographing mushrooms from the local area. She loves mushrooms - or anything nature-like, and I like to take photos! Great mesh. (Photo by Tom Marshall)

Janey Cooking

Now I know some think Janey could kill with a kitchen, but the truth is that she is really a great cook. I can honestly say, I have never been sick, nor have I ever not wanted to eat anything she has ever made - it all tastes great! (Photo by Tom Marshall)

Kool Cat

Josh is a good sport when it comes to tough situations, and this trip we took in 2002 was no different. Four days on the Grand River in early April. Night times dipped well bellow freezing, and days peeked in the low single digits. This photo was taken just after Josh flipped the Kayak in just-above-freezing water temps. Instead of helping him out of the water though, I felt my services might better be employed in the documentation of the event (for historical reasons) - on film. Though I will not publish it here, I have a great photo of Josh in the process of seeing his ship to the bottom. Ah, a true captain at heart. (Photo by Tom Marshall)

The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith

I am, as some of you know, in the middle of getting down to work on my thesis for my Masters of Laws degree. But I cannot help but pick up good books when I need a break from Aboriginal issues. Currently, I am at the start of a book I have always wanted to read - The Wealth of Nations. Interestingly, I was given a wonderful copy of this book by my father, who came across a 1911 re-publication of Adam Smith's greatest contribution to the study of political economics. I will, in due course, let you know how the book strikes me. Until then, and perhaps not until after my thesis is completed, we will just have to wait.
