The edit…

May the Fourth Be With You!!

I was trying to come up with an idea for a toy photo today and, as happens more often than not, I went with a concept that came to me VERY last second.

Did I ever tell you about the time that Dave2 and I accidentally stumbled upon a movie set that was actively filming?

Ever since Instagram was bought by Facebook, now Meta, it has become so stupid.

I love using action figures like this…

From all of us to all of you, Merry Christmas!

I had absolutely no idea that there was a second Friday the 13th happening this year. So it crept up on me and caught me completely off guard.

This is the final post in my “Octoyber” series of toy shots. Sorry it’s a couple days late, but I had my end-of-the-month “administrative” posts to get up here. But… IT’S FINALLY OVER!!!

Wow! Two Snippet posts in a row??? What’s wrong with me you ask? Everything. Take your pick.

Here is part 2 of the Octoyber theme and photos I have taken to meet the prompts.

If you’ve been on my social accounts, you’ve likely seen these already, but I’m gonna post them here as well because they’re cool and I was blown away and I own this site so you play by my rules. Ha.

This month, I’m taking part in a 31-day toy photography challenge by Articulated Comic Book Art titled “Octoyber.” Each day, a new prompt is available to which we need to fit some toys in a photo.

Happy Friday the 13th, folks! I mentioned on Sunday that I’d be hosting my Jason Voorhees photo collab again all week long and I did. So here are my photos and the accompanying poetry I wrote for each…

One of my favorite holidays is coming up this week… Friday the 13th!!! And, of course, being me, I have to celebrate with my annual toy photography challenge… A Week of Victims!!!

I love you sometimes, Mother Nature.

How about a simple post of photos from our road trip to Indiana and southwestern Michigan that ended today just to put a little bow on the weekend?

Not sure how many of you follow my toy photography, but every month that we have a Friday the 13th (at least for the last two or so years), I’ve run an event called “A Week of Victims.”

Another dusk shot I took for kicks just to see how it would turn out. This is from Alice’s Place, an ice cream shoppe in Elburn, IL, out west of us.

It’s been a long time since I took scenery shots that weren’t vacation related. For some reason, I decided to do just that last night in the car in the way home.

And here are some random photos from in and around Vancouver this past week.

Here’s a load of photos from the various stops we made in and around Seattle this past week.

Every once in a while, you have to recharge your creative batteries and step away from the serious effects-laden photos and do something simple… and cute… and fun.

Here is a photo (or two) of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man going through some post editing.

Just a quick step-by-step process of a photo I created today that will be posted next weekend.

Oh man, was I jazzed tonight!

Last weekend, I did an action figure re-creation of this cover of Jason Aaron’s Marvel Star Wars #14.

Okay, so we were a few days late to the game with going to see the holiday lights at Brookfield Zoo this year. But we went and we clearly were not the only ones going after Christmas was over. It was jammed!

Let’s see what Artie the Shelf Elf has been up to since his arrival on Friday…

I thought I’d take a moment to throw some of our Halloween-related photos your way.

As I enjoyed detailing what I did yesterday and again have nothing else to say, I’m going to detail a second visual effects job I did on a toy photo I took.

Just taking a moment to highlight a photo editing job I did for my hobby account. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

I am so ridiculously proud of Nate for the photo he took today. This is the finished shot, post editing…

Throughout this past week, I ran yet another round of A Week of Victims on my hobby IG account in celebration of Friday the 13th. In case you need a reminder, this is when I take Jason Voorhees toys and have them menace other toys for fun.

It doesn’t happen often, but once in a while, I find myself with the time and creativity to put a little extra effort into my toy photography.

Very briefly tonight, we had tornado sirens sound near our house. They ended almost immediately and all the storm clouds blew past.
