365 Day 243 - Godspeed

Neil Armstrong was one of my heroes growing up.  I wanted to be astronaut. I wanted to go flying into space with my "butt on fire" in a capsule barely big enough to sit in.  Who didn't?  Even in death, Mr. Armstrong continues to inspire.  Godspeed, Neil Armstrong, Godspeed.

365 Day 225 - Arrival of the Clones

Troopers of the 442nd Siege Battalion are trained to face any danger, any place, any time.  Trooper EJ510 patrols the backwoods on night duty, always on the lookout for rebel scum.

365 Day 224 - Wassup?

Taking pictures of my favorite model, Yoshi. I'm starting to think that he likes his picture taken.  He kept posing for me and watching for the camera.  This was the most different pose of all the ones he gave me.  Kinda like the whole "You lookin' at me?" attitude of his pose.

  Actually messed around with Adobe Lightroom for this photo.  Added a couple of filters to try to sharpen the photo. 

365 Day 214 - It has arrived!

It has arrived! Finally! Mwahahahahaha... Mwahahahahahahaha...  In time, all will be revealed.

-----

Ok, so I know I haven't been keeping up with this project. It's a lot harder than I thought.  My goal now is to at least get one picture up every other day.  I've gotten some toys to play with so I've got some options now.  And I've got some ideas brewing in my head too.

Title: 365 Day 14 - Introducing the Troopers, I

Name: Major Lampkin, "Graysuit"

Lampkin borders on genius level intellect.  But where he excels in intelligence, he lacks in common sense.

-----

The first in a series introducing the Troopers.

365 Day 13 - Attack of the Buffet

"Ooooooooohhhh... Why didn't you guys stop me after my 15th trip to the line?"

"Shutup Graysuit, this was your bright idea!"

-----

The Troopers 1st trip to a Las Vegas buffet got a little out of control.

365 Day 12 - Flowering

Just something Wifey did.  Looks pretty nice I think.

365 Day 11 - Reinforcements

365 Day 10 - Instagram!!!!

Ok, I've been a baaaaaaa boy.  I've been taking pictures, but I haven't been putting them up.  Well, I found this cool thing called Instagram (there's an app for that) that I'll be using for weekday updates.  On the weekend I'll be using the Canon camera and staging the photos.  This is my first photo with Instagram, a couple of keychains that Wifey got for me.

365 Day 9 - RUN!!!!

The Troopers realized that their hiking trip was over when the Klingon Bird of Prey appeared over the next ledge.  Every Trooper for themselves!!!!

-----

I try not to crop or manipulate my photos in any way.  This shot would have been lost if I didn't crop it.

365 Day 8 - Surprise!

Alika really doesn't like his picture taken.  I forgot to turn off the flash and this is the look I got.  He wasn't very happy and went to his room.  Didn't talk to me the rest of the night.

365 Day 7 - Game night

"Why do I always have to be the Princess?"

"Privilege of seniority, Graysuit."

-----

Game night with the Troopers is always tense, and hardly ever as fun as it's meant to be.

365 Day 6 - Control

My homage to the 2nd greatest console ever created.

365 Day 5 - Hi...

"Hi, I'm Larry; this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl."

Either you get it or you don't.  For those that don't, Google it.

365 Day 4 - Close up

"All right Mr. Velazquez, I'm ready for my close-up."

Yoshi in what is sure to be the first of many appearances on this project.

365 Day 3 - Which "Empire" are we talking about?

The Empire's favorite baseball team? Seriously?!?! You have to ask?

This is the first photograph I've done with some "serious" props and staging.  Didn't come out exactly how I wanted but practice make perfect.

365 Day 2 - Portable?

Trooper JE-519 is not so sure that his definition of portable is the same as Apple's.

365 Day 1 - Puzzled

JE-519 wonders how he got stuck with puzzle duty...

----------

"When the Trooper known as JE-519 signed up to join the Imperial Navy, he wanted to be part of the counter-intelligence division solving puzzles.  This is not what he had in mind."
