Robots - 2018
Now that I have some free time, I decided to take a look at my old shoots and see if there’s anything that was cut that might be worth keeping.
Here’s to second chances.

Robots - 2018
This is a continuation of the Robots series that was started in 2009. The original series was first put on hold until an opening in the schedule would allow for a follow up shoot, and then it was put on hold indefinitely after my first daughter was born/destroyed the large bronze robot toy. Similar to the Wild West series, this is turned into a two-day shoot with nine years between.
This is a really fun series to shoot, and I'm looking forward to at least a couple more shoots with these wacky guys.

Robots - 2009
This series began with a fascination of railroad miniatures.
For something so small, there's a lot of expression that comes through in railroad miniatures. They're sculpted to fit all kinds of scenarios, such as waiting for a train, reading the newspaper, crossing the street, to bodybuilding, sunbathing, posing for a portrait, etc. It was always exciting for me to just look at the miniature displays and dioramas; to see these little people in their little world.
I don't remember where I first saw the Stikas figures, but I remember thinking they looked like a lot of fun. And after that, looking back at the railroad miniatures, I noticed that the 'man running for the departing train' looks a lot like 'man running for his life from a giant robot monster' and that was the start.
