The guard tower, one of my favorite props. This shot was done in front of a backdrop carefully made from pasted together, cut-out sections of a scrapbooking paper I found that had evergreen trees on it. The paper was too[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I like this one in that it suggests another dynamic to the relationship between Minion No. 1 and Minion Number 2. (By the way, in case you’ve been wondering, it’s not a typo or error that I use “No. 1”[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
