Miniature photographer, model maker, creative. He/him.
Snow days lead to all sorts of creativity.

For example, this image of a 1/6" Kidpool feeding a squirrel, with no ulterior motives whatsosever...

This wasn't the shot I was going for with the last photo, but I like it, so a quick little edit later and here it is. Let's call it a happy accident.

Snow day!

It's rare around these parts, so I like to take full advantage. Here is a pic I accidentally took of me getting some action figure photos. I have my camera controlled by my phone. Tossing fresh powdery snow at Iron Man with an old pool strainer.

My latest work.

Everything here 3D printed and/or made from foam in my shop, shot in my studio, processed in my personally licensed copy of Photoshop.

I asked Gemini to "make me a sandwich", and it gave me some pseudo code that went through the steps for making a turkey on white bread. The comment in the code said "Best enjoyed conceptually."

So this is likely going to be the title of my autobiography: Best Enjoyed Conceptually.

That is all.

The days between Christmas and New Years are the laziest days of the year, aren't they?

This is the inspiration for my latest work (actually I made this before the break and subsequent laziness set in, but I am backfilling my inspiration - back-spiration? - for this one).

This image popped out of my studio just in time to wish you all a happy holidays! I hope whatever you celebrate is awesome, fulfilling, and full of a sufficient amount of joy.

My wife raided my toy box to get a photo of "ants eye view" for a photo contest, verifying my theory that every creative photographer will inevitably shoot action figures.

This is why I wrote a book about it! Available on Amazon.

Thus completes this shameless self promotion.

A miniature photographer at work.

It is super fun making small lumps of plastic look larger than life.

Kidpool!

I forgot I pre-ordered this 1:6 scale figure when Deadpool & Wolverine came out, so it was a bit of a surprise when he showed up at my door all these months later. Its Deadpool adjacent, so its hard to complain.

Tonight I have him the full treatment in my studio.

"American is so strong, so free, so powerful, that anyone exercising the first freedom in the Bill Of Rights by expressing free speech that may be slightly antagonistic of the current government is an existential threat that must be stopped with extreme force" is a pretty fucking weak argument.

So anyway, this is my T-Rex shot.

I've been working on this for almost a week now. Created everything in this shot - 3D printed, painted, and crafted right here in my own little slice of heaven I call my studio.

Asking Gemini to code in different accents is the best. You don't need to even know how to code to appreciates this snippet of code. I asked it to write code to divide two numbers in a Newfoundlander accent.

Raphael.

My latest work, created from action figures, creative lighting and camera work, and a smidge of a heck of a lot of Photoshop.

I think I finally craked a workable portable studio that I can use for toy photography on the go!
