Description
I ended up liking this one a lot more than I expected.I wasn't thinking about it at the time, but this was probably subconsciously inspired by McCarty Photoworks .
Taken on 100iso Kodak Ektachrome.

What can I say, this is just awesome. It's great photography that includes a toy robot, i mean, what could be more awesome than that. Gutsy little guy isn't he. He's so tiny, yet the words "DE-STROY. DE-STROY" come to mind. i love it ;D

I really like the perspective and depth of field - makes for a very nice effect. The whole shot is nicely composed and has great coloring as well. Good stuff!

Thanks for your awesome comment!

Haha, it's a transformer, right? Guess he's gonna turn back into a car and park, hehe. Or he's leaving from having been parked. Whichever

Parking lots are like clubs and bars for Transformers.

Poor guy, he's all alone in this bar/club/parking lot then.

LOL where do you find these things?! So clever

Find? This little fellow is mine! I've had him over 10 years.
Thank you!

Haha I like this. He looks like he's gonna take the whole huge place down in his tiny fury. Even though he might be better suited to take down only one of those scraps of paper lying around.

"in his tiny fury."
I don't know, big anger comes in little packages.

Quite true... lil guy's a bit of a Napoleon, no? Though I hear that guy (Napoleon) was actually 5'6... which, I mean, it isn't tall, but far be it for me to call a man of my own height "short."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Really? Man, I would think 5'6" would have been kinda tall for the day.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, don't quote me on it. I could have the wrong number...
[link] Nope, you're right, he was kinda tall. Or at least average.

Background really fits well nicely. Mm. Parking garages and toys.
Ektak;soie;afhchrome? Give me a run down?

Thanks man! I was trying to find a suiting place for this fellow, somewhere he'd feel at home.
Ektachrome, just some Kodak slide film that I picked up at a clearance center. If you can find one near you, it's a good place for cheap film. It's expired of course, but unless it's over 2 years expired, you should be fine.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What kind of stores are clearance centers for this kind of stuff?
Does the expired film produce any different results?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm, film warehouses and the like. As you've found, ebay usually has some expired film up. I know Wolf Camera has a few clearance centers here and there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you score a deal somewhere, you should hook me up with some expired film.
haha. I'll keep checking ebay.

You have a serious thing for small toys in your photos don't you? I've noticed that you have a lot of deviations with toy soldiers, toy robots... why don't you try some toy cars?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I've noticed that lately myself... I think I must have been looking at the McCarthy Photoworks webpage too much, it's begun to seep into my work.
Toy cars might be neat. I could use perspective to make them look life size. I wonder.

yes! looks like a small version of my millenium robot

with miniature destruction to go right along! How are you doing, sir?

really like the concept of something that humans find scary (industuralistion) being so small and cute within the 'real world'...

Ooo, nice comment. I hadn't looked at it that way. Thank you!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
oooh. I like how understated this it! Both cute and profound and the same time. Wonder if the bot it trying to bring across any message? Like... 'We may be small, but we rule!!'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha thanks! This is some serious 'Take me to your leader' stuff going on.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
take me to your leader?!? uhhhh , okayyy.... hahaha I like that it's a macro shot cos I dig them and i think the setting is perfect for a shot like this, like, concrete ground, vast emptiness behind with lights, yeah... I like!

sweet! i used to have a go-bots cassette tape but i only had part 1 and never found out what happened at the end 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's intensely frustrating! I wonder if you could find out what happened to the go-bots now, with the wonders of the information super highway?
Thanks! The color took me by surprise when I got the slides back.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
just had a quick peruse of the www but nothing as yet. would be nice to find out the ending lol. i've always enjoyed the rich colours of your work, its just something that digital has yet to replicate, if anything digital can at times, be too honest with colour.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks man. I know what you mean. Sometimes film just has a richness that is hard to recreate.

Next time you should use a bunch of them... Then it could be an all - out war!!! ARH!

Oh, if only I did have a bunch of these little heroes. That would be amazing.
