Naming My Dragon!

Posted on September 1, 2014 | Leave a comment

September 1st. The start of a new month and the birthday of someone close to me. Happy Birthday!

 

Anyway, last week, my post was about my new dragon (not sure what I’m talking about, read last week’s post). I mentioned in said post that I needed to decide on a name for my new dragon.

 

Well, I think I’ve decided.

 

Meet Daemon (and no, my choosing this name has absolutely nothing to do with that horrid waste of television air time, The Vampire Diaries. I loathe everything about that show as much as I loathe Twilight. In fact, they‘re pretty much the same thing in my mind. [>_<])!

 

Daemon

 

Anyway, be looking for Daemon. He’ll be appearing in future photo projects!

 

 

Until next time…

I Found A Dragon!

Posted on August 25, 2014 | Leave a comment

Those of you that read my blog on a somewhat regular basis (all two of you) might remember me talking about photographing action figures and other toys.  I mentioned back then that I wanted to find a dragon for future toy photo projects and about how I had no luck in said pursuit.  I looked everywhere.  I did find some cool possibilities, but they were outside my budget (the one I wanted was $20!).  The only dragons I found that were in my price range looked more like dinosaurs or Godzilla.  Don’t get me wrong, Godzilla’s cool and all, but not for the projects I had in mind.  Plus, I don’t really consider him a “dragon”.

Well, that’s changed.

Recently, I found that the dragon I wanted was marked down 50%!  So, I grabbed it (it was the last one too)!  Now, I just need to think of the perfect name for him….

Me And My Dragon!

I can’t wait to start working with this little beastie!  Just holding him makes me feel like Daenerys Targaryen (that‘s right, I said it)!

Keep an eye out for him in future posts!

Until next time…

Last week our Nimble Ninja friend, Blue, got himself into some trouble.  Luckily, this week, Purple came to his rescue and together they faced their foe!

*insert epic/heroic action movie music here*

HIYA!!

Yeah.  Toys.  Ninjas.  Gotta love ‘em.  d_[^_^]

Until next time…

Uh Oh, Blue!

Last week gave rise to what I plan to call my “Nimble Ninjas” series.  Catchy title, huh?  Yeah, I know.

Anyway, this week brings a new ninja, the Blue Ninja, who seems to have stumbled into a bit of an unpleasant situation.

Uh Oh!!

Blue Ninja In Trouble

Will Blue defeat his foe and live to Kung Fu fight another day?!  Tune in next week to find out!

Always remember to have fun, my friends!

Until next time…

Toys

Posted on June 2, 2014 | Leave a comment

Even though I’m one of those…you know…adults, I still like to play with toys now and then. Except, now, the only difference is, I take pictures of my escapades through toy land and call them “photo projects”. Well I’ve done a lot of “photo projects” and I have a lot of “photo projects” in mind for the future.

 

This doesn’t make me weird or childish. It makes me imaginative and epic! [-_^]

 

For example, my most recent trip to the beach yielded this (which I plan on making into a series)….

 

You’re welcome. d_[^_^]

Don’t be afraid to have fun, be silly, or to play with toys as an adult. Defy the norms! Especially when society tries to tell you that playing with toys is “inappropriate for someone your age.”

 

 

Until next time…
