Do you remember playing on the floor in front of a fire with your toys on a rainy day? Albert Einstein said, “imagination is more important than knowledge.” I’d like to think he never stopped playing with toys, the toys just got more complex. I’m not tying to discourage you from curling up with a good book, but are you being more creative by playing or by absorbing someone else’s creative actions? So how do you shake off a cold rainy day?

It’s a bird, it’s a plane… it’s art.

My friends always ask me if taking images of beautiful women in a bikini or lingerie is my favorite part of being a photographer. I’m not going to lie, it doesn’t suck. However, my favorite projects are commissions to capture a child’s favorite toy.

We may have to be responsible as we get older, but we should never forget to play and have fun… and share your toys with others.

For action figures and plastic toys I normally suggest that the images are printed on metal. The metal prints give the color a real pop. For stuffed toys, a gallery wrap canvas give a nice soft look. Even if you don’t live in California, Nevada, Oregon, or Washington, I will accept toys to be shipped to me for an art shoot. After the images are captures I will be happy to ship every toy right back to you.
