I might be driving along and think hey, there's a nice spot. Also, I am starting to improve my photography skills, and of course with a great group of people like on this site, it's nice to interact and receive feedback from other Joe fans. __________________ SILENT DUSTY "...but for a soldier his duty is plain.

Well, that explains why your painting is so great!

vader9900 To old to play with toys! Offline --> Posts: 5,962 --> Join Date: Oct 2007	I like to pose my figures, all of my figures in my display cases are posing, not just standing there. I started taking pictures of them posing, way before I came to JoeDios. Some of my work (David Julian) can be seen on YoJoe under the "all geared up" link in the figure pages. I have been making dioramas for years, mainly Star Wars sets. When I found JoeDios I saw a way to combine my hobbies - posing Joe, building dioramas and photographing them. As far a dio-stories, I have a very short attention span, plus I am not very creative when it comes to writing stories - sometimes I have a hard time coming up with a title & description for my photos! Doing one shot at a time is all I have patience for, to me it is fun! __________________ "It ain't about how hard you hit, but how hard you can get hit, how much you can take and keep moving forward - thats how winning is done!"

( Get a job as a news interviewer) I take pics mainly to train to be a photographer, lets me be creative, Great excuse to play with joes ( 13 years old man,) and I love it. Its my Zen, pop in a couple Joes in my pocket, check my camera, turn up my CD Player ( DISTURBED) and get into a state of mind __________________ This is war, survival is your responsibility.
