I was going through some toy pics I did in the past and came across this. I had to get the toy out and mess with it.. I guess I will never grow up mentally.. a good thing in my book. I can be mature when I need to be, but young at heart and mind is something we should all strive for day to day. Anyway I really like the angle here, but I may do some shots this coming week with my new Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi..just to see how they turn out. This is the Takara Japanese Version of the Ultimate Optimus Prime. Metal and plastic action figure that stands almost two feet tall and articulated everywhere and transforms completely. I was used on Robot Chicken in the Optimus gets Colon Cancer sketch...very dark and funny indeed..you can catch it on "Adult Swim" on CartoonNetwork...talk to ya soon..stay safe and in Bob Dylans eternal words "Stay forever young...."

This is the cover of the atlas that bought and used my pic. I took this last year on the banks of the Ohio. I was across US41 South from Ellis Park on the bank. A beautiful early October afternoon, beautiful blue sky listening to "Ladies and Gentlemen...." The Grateful Dead..the last night of the four night stand at Filmore West. Great show and inspired me to take some interesting pics. I thought someone was playing a joke on me when I recieved the email requesting the use of the photo and offering money too. Thats what made me think it was a joke!!! Well come to find out it was real. Not a huge deal, but it made my day nontheless and enough money to invest in a new Canon EOS Rebel XTi. Love it btw. Just thought I would share this with everyone...
