This is a time to recap life we had on 2014 and be thankful for all the blessings and happiness we shared with out family and friends. Even though there were sadness or misfortunes, try to look at them as being part of life where we learn to be strong, patient and be prepared for more challenges in the next coming years.

The Star Wars Nativity


Star Wars Nativity

We hope you have a wonderful Christmas celebration this season. Aside from the love of family and friends let's not forget to honor the Father and his Son Jesus who brought real meaning of unity, forgiveness, love and promise of eternal happiness in His kingdom forever.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

This photo is not intended to offend anyone's belief but merely for honoring the celebration of the Christmas season. Since this blog is a toy collector site, I think it's just fair to express my nativity version through my collections.

Cool Toy Photography Ideas For Beginners

One of the cool reasons why adults are into toy collecting is the beauty of toy photography. Of all the many subjects we can use in photography, why use toys?

Toys like action figures have always been a representation of the characters that kids and adults have always admired. It's the best way to bring these characters to life in a way that you can hold them, manipulate them, or simply remind you how awesome they are.

Toy photography enhances the physical value of toys by revealing its true colors, articulation and most of all the artistic ability in each one of us-and the way to bring out these creative imaginations is to capture the actions, the right light or shadows and the story we want to tell through our toys.


Most adults don't play like kids with their toys but instead they delight themselves in doing cool poses with their action figures. Usually creative toy collectors would customize their toy ships and action figures with new paints, additional accessories or make a diorama for it.
Basically toys have always been a way to cheer or entertain a child and that brings them instant joy! The same goes with toy photography. Every time you see one you get that child-like feeling of excitement, admiration, fun, humor and calmness.
For me when someone takes a toy photo, he or she is in good mood. Now this good feeling can radiate back to the viewers of their photo. Try looking at toy galleries at Instagram or flickr and see what I mean.

Want to cheer someone up? You might want to try toy photography.
