I am your father...

    Happy Birthday Chris. This one is for you. I did think about nudity, but i didnt have time to whip it out for the camera ;)

    Redux on a Dolk's graffitti work, a cultural cross refference in itself. I took this specially last weekend and got a lot of funny looks at the entrance to the supermarket where this was taken. Well it was the best backdrop i could find, with those lovely concrete textures. Even so i had to go there with a brush to dust it down before the shoot, and avoid the legs of passing pedestrians

      Awww, thanks Mr Dave. That's so cool of you. But are you telling me that you're my father!?!?!?

      Nice homage David. If you are his father please don't tell me that I'm his sister? Although it would make me a princess of a destroyed planet, woah therapy here we come!!!

      Best photos are often taken will lots of people walking past thinking "what's that nutter doing ?"

      And this is a testament to that ! Brill.

      heh. :D thanks Martin. Lego rocks!!

      cheers. i am almost offended taht you acuse me of being a nutter :D

      I love Fanboy30's Freudian-mess misinterpretation!

      Adorable shot, and great little angle of Scout looking up to Daddy.

    25. archidave (39 months ago | reply)

      :D thanks

    26. ModestLife (39 months ago | reply)

      Pssst... sorry to make requests but is there any chance you've got a shot around of a closeup of the foot assembly? I think that's one of the cool little mech moments in that model. I'm also curious as to how it might differ in the motorized version from the original non-motorized one (just in terms of having to handle more motion).

    27. archidave (39 months ago | reply)

      haha. I will see what I can do ;)
