Mutt on a Wire

Day 198

Midnight is fast approaching and I realize no photos yet taken this day. Time to goof around with stuff in my office, along with this minifig from my daughter's Lego Indiana Jones set. Like a true hero (or the son of one anyway) he manages to keep the dream alive.

Indiana Jones and the Fruit of the Doom

Day 196



I didn't want to have the only blog that did not talk about the new iPhone. This however, is the old iPhone. Despite the fact the Indy is discovering it, don't think it belongs in a museum just yet. Despite what it lacks from the new 3G model, it still has some gas in the tank.

Wing Fighter

Day 170



One of the coolest things about having kids is the toys. Not only do you get to see the joy they have in playing with them, but you can also play with them yourself. This is some random mismash fighter (Imperial - since the pilot is a Storm Trooper) that my son is obviously quite pleased with.

Trooper Keeper

Day 154



Today's keeper is not just another shot of a Star Wars toy. It is also part of my attempt to better learn how to use my flash. On last weekend's camping trip, many failed attempts with the remote flash made me realize I did not know what I was doing, so I resolved to get better. This shot actually has very little post processing. The Trooper is standing on the counter in front of a red bowl, off of which I bounced the flash from the side.

Cake Trooper

Day 131



This is a Clone Trooper who is serving as a decoration on my son's birthday cake. Maybe not the most macho assignment a trooper can get, but it has to beat fighting droids or betraying Jedi.

Light Year

Day 126



The object for the second week of the May challenge is an automobile. I'm not much of a car guy (or Motor Head as they were called in the day), so I'm not sure how many car shots I'll do this week. But Lightning McQueen was still on my desk from Day 95, so I figured, why not?

Nothing Lasts

Day 98



This 3-D puzzle really wants to come apart, despite all my efforts to keep it together. Now that my daughter has seen it, I suspect she will help entropy run its course, since that is what kids do best.

Ka Chow!

Day 95



Welcome to Day 95. Is it any surprise that today's shot features the world famous race car Lightning McQueen, decked out in his Radiator Spring finest?

Duck Mouth

Day 68



This was in Austin, TX where I travelled to work at SXSW. When I travel alone, I usually take Duck Brown with me to make it easier to get unique photos. I'm not sure exactly where this was, since I forgot to bring along my geotagger.

Got a Bad Feeling

Day 67



I didn't really mean to get a Star Wars thing going here, but it just kind of happened. These Rebel mini-figs were just too darn cool to ignore. And yes, I am playing with my son's toys now, but isn't that the whole reason for having kids?

R2-D2

Day 66



I needed a shot of everyone's favorite astro-to help illustrate the question"Is R2-D2 male or female?"

Ol' Shell Head

Day 59



This is a classic Iron Man from the early days of the character. Is it too early to be getting geared up for the new movie coming out in May, starring Robert Downey Jr. ?

Mr. The King

Day 43



Get it?

Waiting For Spring

14 January 2008



This was not the shot I started out to get. It just kind of happened. Its probably too early for thoughts of spring, anyway.
