If I recall correctly around the time of the Falklands War, this song was apparently banned on British radio...
" Ship-wrecked love can be cruel Don't be fooled by her kind There's a wind in my sails Will protect and prevail I just spent six months in a leaky boat Nothing to it leaky boat."
Great stuff Split Enz... you know there's a very wise age-old New Zealand saying that says : there's two kinds of people in this world, Kiwis and those who want to be ! Yo. And although we're rivals on the footy field there's nothing quite matches the thrill and excitement of a good game between Aussie & NZ. Across-the-ditch comeraderie they say.
Back to the photo... as soon as I saw it I thought of Split Enz Six Months in a Leaky Boat, hence the intro. The colours kind of make this shot feel sad. Wouldn't wanna be fishing eh !
Although the original concept for this photo-blog may have changed somewhat due to Life, Love etc (ad nauseum), I WILL chip away at this thing (where possible) until I have completed the countdown from 365. Who knows, I may have a sudden rush of available time (cough) or overwhelming inspiration and still complete the project within the 12 months, although the realist in me says "you're dreamin' mate" ... Whatever, However and Whenever, fruition SHALL be reached (and I have it on good advice that Fruition is a rather nice place, particularly in Spring) :o)
