In Which Toys Are Meant for Destroying : #52Frames 2025 Week 45 -- Show Us Your Toys

Photo gear is so cliche. Instead look at OMG THAT FACE, I mean a shredded stuffie.

A golden retriever holds a pink partially disemboweled stuffed dragon in her mouth with a pleading look on her face, as she wants the photographer to put that stoopid clicky box down and play tugs with her immediately

I was away most of the week for #52frames_showusyourtoys so I threw this together at the last minute.

Week #45 of 52Frames: Show Us Your Toys!

For a long time, all the automation and technical perfection had taken the joy out of creating an image. These lenses brought it back.

#52frames #52Frames_showusyourtoys #photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #minimalism #quebec #canada #eastcoastkin

Three camera lenses rest side by side on a clean desk, their polished metal and glass gleaming softly under natural light. Each lens faces the viewer directly, forming a quiet row of dark circles, three reflective eyes, each holding its own small world within. In the central lens, the foot of a computer display appears inverted and crisp, perfectly framed inside the curvature of the optics. It anchors the image in the workspace, the place where vision takes form, where thought and creation begin. The two other lenses, slightly larger, reflect more abstract shapes: the play of light across a keyboard, the geometry of a desk, the subtle blur of background shadows. Rendered in black and white, the photo is stripped of distraction, emphasizing line, reflection, and tonality. Around each lens, the engraved lettering: TTArtisan, 10mm,35mm, 50mm, carries a quiet sense of identity, like signatures of craft. The composition is minimalist but intentional, balanced between symmetry and individuality. These lenses are not trophies or luxury objects; they are instruments of return: symbols of slowing down, of feeling again the friction of manual focus and the deliberation of framing by hand. The light is calm and diffused, suggesting the intimacy of a studio or desk where the photographer rediscovers the joy of effort. This still life captures the poetry of process itself: the rebirth of vision through the simplicity of touch, patience, and control. It’s not a portrait of equipment, it’s a portrait of the artist’s rekindled relationship with seeing.

For this week’s 52Frames photo challenge - “show us your toys”, I submitted this shot of my Nikon Z6 mirrorless camera mounted on my star tracker (which negates the rotation of the earth allowing for long exposures). Expensive but fun hobby! #photography #52frames_showusyourtoys

52Frames - Show Us Your Toys, Extra Challenge - Flat Lay: Feeling Fancy.

This challenge was quite the learning experience with more adjustments to be made in another "go around."

Now to go write something. Does anyone do that anymore?

The Flock at Rest
They wait in morning light,
tongues out and hearts unguarded.
Playtime will come again soon —
for now, the flock dreams softly in gold.

Tried the "tell a story with Flat Lay" extra challenge for the #52frames_showusyourtoys theme this week.

I'm definitely embracing imperfections!

My MiSTerPi and Speedlink Competition Pro joystick. A great way to play old Amiga games without investing a fortune in a now super-rare working vintage Amiga.

I don't really have many "toys" for #52frames_showusyourtoys, but took a couple of shots: a collection of my winter activity gear and a flat lay of some of our favourite board games' pieces
