...this blog gave to thee...
...eleven days in Lego...
...ten tasty tipples...
...nine pins and strings...
...eight resolutions...
...seven shoes to choose from...
...six party dresses...
...five gold rings!..
...four paper worlds...
...three shiny gems...
...two texting whales...
...and a pendant that I made.
Every day, for two years, Dan Phelps has combined his love for lego and photography by taking daily photos of the figures.
Uploading 365 days a year through his blog, A Lego A Day, Phelps has chronicled the adventures of Indiana Jones, Hiker, the intrepid traveller and the the comedic side of Storm Troopers. As with most bloggers some scenes he plans and take time to construct, others are spur of the moment, figures coming to life within his home and surrounding.
I love lego and loved the comic side of Phelps' work with Stormtroopers which I find really entertaining. Also the fact that he takes a photo everyday (though not always uploads it every day) is something to be admired. I used Blipfoto and wanted to take a photo a day for a year - something I will try to start again this year - and it is incredibly difficult to achieve. A photograph a day seems simple, pick up your camera, point and shoot but even taking photos of clouds for twenty five days was difficult. Twenty-five days of cloud cover... was a series of photos I took every day for the twenty five leading up to my twenty-fifth birthday (being born on the 31st I'd have done a full month but the notion didn't come to me until later, but luckily enough days for my age) and while some days that summer were so cloudy there was no definition to the sky, other days were so clear it was almost impossible to find a cloud to photograph.
There was no need for me to think of an activity for those clouds to perform, so hats off to Phelps and his Lego tour de force.
Merry Christmas. Part twelve tomorrow...
