Today's submission highlights the devolution of children's toys. No matter what you do, toys break. Sometimes they break in massive numbers.

So, in my house, toys embody entropy.

Blogged here.

I used my homemade lightbox and my Vivitar 285HV, via Pocket Wizard bounced off the ceiling, directly above. Then I color balanced and nudged up the contrast in Aperture. Next I moved to Photoshop to filter with the High Pass filter and some Unsharp Masking.

	One hundred percent fruit juice says: aw. he broke his leg. To the peg leg supply closet! Awesome editing. The saturation of the colors give it a certain amount of depth that the original lacked. And he sort of glows, doesn't he? Posted 3 months ago. ( permalink )

	lilahpops says: Very cool shot - excellent processing. The colours are fabulous and intense. Was it difficult to make your own lightbox? Posted 3 months ago. ( permalink )
	trevorscottcarpenter says: @lilahpops, Actually my friend Randyman made it for me. But, it's just a large cardboard box, with 3 sides cut out. Then covered with a strong tissue paper. Then a sheet of white thick paper draping the back and bottom. Posted 3 months ago. ( permalink )
	lilahpops says: Thanks for that, I'll have to give it a go! Posted 3 months ago. ( permalink )
