Where it all began.

01.01.2010 - Toy Photography is defined by many things and in many ways. There are composition that they take the word too literal, and there are people who just want to snap anywhere without justification. In short Toy Photography is a medium that is still uncharted on how it is being defined. As a personal opinion Toy Photography should be taken beyond the idea of taking a photo of a "Toy" and apply passion for "Photography" and the equation is something for you to salivate.

Jump after the cut...

Since 2007 the interest had grown into something of a personal outlet from the rough days at work or just finding ways to enrich potential in self-learning photography. Though unconventional it gives a satisfaction to the imagination for one hobby.

These days there are several types of Toy Photographer, but we have to be open for the fact it is not just for the "Photographer Hobbyist". It’s where you shoot photos using your high end Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera for the heck of showing off. Yes DSLRs have crisp clear quality photos, but there's no "fun" on bragging about it.

Anyone has personal opinions to using which cameras you own, but it's not the device that makes the composition give you the "wow" factor. Though the individual who has the eye to capture that composition.

One individual showed the way on how you take Toy Photography more challenging up notch higher.

If anyone who haven't heard Mach "Diesel" Manuel then you might start searching for the man, who is behind the SMU Toys abbreviated as Super! Mega! Ultra! Toys!

He has been doing "Toy Photography" since 2001 in the outdoors. His ingredient: A point & shoot camera, the great outdoors, and your eye for imagination.

I've met this nice fellow sometime in October 2007, but back then I've been experimenting on "Toy Photography" outdoors since July 20, 2007. He's one inspiration who made me realize the potential I had with photography.

A few had claim and have said that I have an eye for a good shot, but I have ignored the notion until I met Mach Diesel. He once said it takes years of practice to have a good shot, and for that I'm in debt for that realization. So I take this as a challenge to start the year right. Though not officially I'll try my best to keep it consistent about this 365 Day Project purely dedicated to "Toy Photography".

I've been on publishing my composition on Tumbr.com since January 2009, but not consistently until this year.

For now this plan is on experimental stage but for those interested check it out at: Toyphotography.Tumbr.com
