I spend about two-thirds of my days picking up, sorting, tossing, picking up,sorting, and tossing the amassed mountain of toys our kids have and I often wonder what their backstory is.
I took my new camera out for a testride today and I couldn't get my kids to sit still for a some pictures for the life of me. But I needed the practice, so I dumped out every figurine I could find and I took portraits of them. They were more than happy to tell me their woes.
toy portraits, session one
january 24, 2014
1. Randall dreams about being a concert pianist and growing organic turnips. But mostly he hates having his ears chewed on by the baby.
2. Gertie's big moment, her very own portrait, was ruined by Construction Carl's immature photobomb.
3. After a decade together, Caillou and Leo find themselves in couple's therapy.
4. Marine Corps Moe (the dollar store's answer to GI Joe) really loves a good cup of coffee in the morning. And some guerilla urban warfare for lunch.
5. Bernard lost his pride in that last battle. He lost his arm in Tijuana a few years back while on leave.
6. Saul and Paul never could see eye-to-eye.
7. Dusty remembers the good old days when pirating was considered an honest trade. He'd give all the legos in Houston to be chasing the fair winds again.
CUTE!!!! love this! ADORABLE!
