Day 49/365 - Summer

Day 49/365 - Summer

I thought I would be a bit creative with today's entry, so I found some Lego minifigs and created an ode to summer.
I'm a proud owner of a Jeep Wrangler, so I really enjoy when I have a chance to throw off the top, open the windows and fly through the warm air. It is really exhilarating.
So here's the closest I came to finding any sort of a Jeep in Lego terms, and I added myself (with my ever growing moustache) and a companion to share the ride with. Notice his soccer jersey, as many of my friends are avid soccer fans.
I look forward to nice weather again.

For this one, I also experimented with how far I could push the ISO on my camera. This is shot at the H1.0 setting, and I don't really know what that means but it gave me a really great amount of texture and grain so I kept it. For me, film will always be the real, tangible photography, so grain is a testament to that, but it also relates to the construction of Lego structures and figures. They are made of tiny pieces that add up to the whole final product, much as a photograph is.

I hope you enjoy it!

Build it up,
Buttercup baby,
Then drop me down,
and leave me to myself.
