Moon landing

The 20th July 2009 is the 40th anniversary of the first manned landing on the moon. I've always been unhappy with my previous moon landing photo because of the 'modern' Lego spaceman. The classic 1978 Lego spaceman is far more fitting for this sort of thing (he's from the Vintage collection Vol. 2).

The flag should be correct for 1969, but I'm sure some of my observant American friends will let me know if I've got it wrong.

Lighting provided by a bare SB-800 with 2/3 of the head taped over to get a smaller, harder lightsource.

Jim and his 300mph 74-Z were always popular with the ladies.

Titanic

The initial outing of the olympic class liner "RMS Death Star" was cut short two hours and forty minutes after starting her voyage when water entered through a small thermal exhaust port causing the ship to sink.

Of the 1,179,293 passengers (including 30,984 Stormtroopers) on the ship, over half lost their lives due to a lack of escape pods.

Today is World-wide knit in public day.

I can't knit, it's way too hard, but it would be criminal to pass up the opportunity to take a photo of a Lego Stormtrooper.

P.S. Hi Rachel, this is your fault :-)
