Theme Week: Personal Favourite Photo
Description: When I first got into the online G.I. Joe community, I devoured four websites, Yo Joe!, Evilface's Fourth Circle Of Hell, Mike T's forgotten figures, and the fourth was a Dutch Collector's website called the B.A.T.'s Lair, which had some of his own dios, as well as scans of European catalogs.

Those 90-91 Euro catalog photos are the reason I take diorama photographs, and they're really outstanding, so while I'll ape lots of inspiration from them, I try not to recreate any of them, because it's both unoriginal, and I'll never do it well enough. This is the closest I'd ever go to actually trying to re-do one, but it's still different enough that I feel like it's mine.

A few people have told me this is their favourite photo of mine, so that is a nice thing to hear.

This is one of my favorite Joe photos of all time.  The clarity on Outback and the rope is crystal clear.  Outback is posed perfectly.  And, most importantly, he's doing something.  It's so hard to get figures to showcase action other than shooting.  You captured it perfectly.

This is an outstanding shot.  The concept, the color, the pose, all of it.  I especially like how you caught just the right angle of his face that it makes him have a look of determination.

I love this. I think one of the worst parts of the super hero era of moviemaking is that we've lost stories with things like this: the tension of a man trying to cross a rope. This photo conveys that tension brilliantly, and it works perfectly with Outback's grimace and biceps.
