One of my performers in the early days was a local kid named Chuck (Further; Insomnia). He was a fair-haired Errol Flynn type who was quite striking in appearance. One day his cousin came to town. He had a very different look, dark-haired with a lantern jaw, but equally striking. He never appeared in any of my productions, but one day he and I snuck off to a local swimming hole just to splash around a little. I brought along my camcorder so I could get a little footage of him in his swimsuit. Afterwards we went to a local pub for a bite and a drink. I kept the camera rolling as he just chatted away. When I got home I spliced it together to make a short video out of it. It's no work of art, but it's a fun watch, and I was glad to have captured this beauty on camera before he disappeared from my life.
