Maybe he will get a story, maybe he will be a great B image. I am glad you created a series with your Manta Ray! And a rad haiku is a double bonus. Sometimes we just have to sit on our photos for a bit to see how they fit into the bigger picture. :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220283697073318052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635045944898925218.post-84035369851214493582014-05-15T12:54:34.248-07:002014-05-15T12:54:34.248-07:00My response to your daughter would have been, &quo...My response to your daughter would have been, "Why not?" They're toys after all and isn't it the point to play with them? To let your imagination run wild with them? I love this shot. I think part of the fun with LEGO photography IS seeing how people combine different accessories to create their story. And to me, just because you may not have intentionally set this one up with a story in mind doesn't mean that it's not saying anything. One of the things I love about your work is the simplicity of the image. It's almost as if Swamp Creature was just out cruising on his bike one day and you happened to be there to photograph him. You could create a story for him afterward. That's what I usually do. The manta series I just posted on IG was totally random from a month ago. I liked all the different angles and couldn't choose just one to post. So I made a little story of sorts for them, and eked out a rad haiku in the end!

Once the technical becomes more natural the struggle for mood with a story continues. I hope your successes outweigh your misses!

I tend to get stuck on the technical, still working on getting to the story.MaggieGemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10956579207914268895noreply@blogger.com
