I remember when I was younger, toys and action figures has been phenomenon since there were flocks of good cartoons those days such as Thundercats, Silverhawks, Ghostbusters etc. I was about 8-9 when toy companies came out with alluring advertisment. The only toy I had was Jack Hammer from the cartoon M.A.S.K. which was a prize I got from a Trebor contest. The rest, from Starcom to Ninja turtles with parachute, I did it myself.
Till these days, being sort of photo junkie although my equipments is fairly basic, I envied those who got bagful of gizmos and gadgets. It'll make my life so much easier with those but then it also makes me less thinking about progressing. Anyways, my latest project I've done recently was building a large format camera with full tilt & shift capability. There's still lacking here and there but it works fine for my way of using it. My first attempt was a self portrait below. It'll be hard to focus a subject when the subject is behind the camera. So these are some of the pictures took with my DIY 8x10. I just love the super shallow depth it can produce. Great for portraits.
