Toyz n the hood 1: With snow gone, life slowly returns to my backyard

"Toyz n the hood" is a collection of pictures where I take pictures of my neighborhood and, using photoshop, add pictures of my children's toys.

The basic idea is this: I'm constantly tripping over my children's toys. They've got dinosaurs, elephants, tigers, etc. They're just there, apparently never being recognized by anyone, except for when I stumble in them. What if these toys were life size and started walking around in my neighborhood, just as unnoticed?

The ground rule is that the toy and the snapshot must be taken at the same time, at the same place, in the same light, the same angle, identical exposure and with identical focal length.

Hope you'll enjoy some of them.

Toyz n the hood 7: Due to fluctuating currencies, there's lots of cheap meat to be had in Sweden these days. So we drove across the border today and stocked up for this summer's grill season. by jcoterhals
