Brian Brake in the garden (looking a bit apprehensively at what I think is a cat), probably Wellington, New Zealand, 1927-1928, photographer unknown, via Museum of New Zealand/Te Papa Tongarewa.

Brian grew up to be an internationally recognized photojournalist.

The Sunday porch: Tasmania

Christmas scene on porch, via Tasmanian Archives on flickr“Children beside a Christmas tree,” ca. 1910s, via Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office Commons on flickr.

I think this snapshot may have been taken by a child — the focus is as much on the toy horse and the cat as on the other children and the tree.

Wars are fought.
Blood turns.
Dirt is a wide, unruly room.
