A quick post on the Legonium photo competition. There is one!
And being a fan of language, learning, Latin and Lego, I had to enter it. The Legonium twitter, found here, is a wonderful place for insights into Latin presented in the medium of Lego.

Have fun.
Anything can be graceful given the right circumstances.
Whether it’s a ballet dancer gliding effortlessly across the stage or a man dressed a bat soaring over the rooftops of a gothically themed urban landscape, the spectacles could be considered graceful. So I combined those ideas with my hobby, added a touch of Lightroom to the mix and voila!
At some point, I will need to learn how to edit out his little support column. For a shot taken in my living room with a laptop as background source and a phone as a light, I’m pretty satisfied with the result. Who knows, I might do a series of shots at some point. 🙂

Magic is a fickle thing. As children, magic is everywhere. It’s in clouds above and the insects below and the life we experience in-between. We then grow up and everything becomes ordinary and we forget the magic we saw floating by on a Saturday afternoon in May. It’s a special kind of sad, but its life. So when magic reappears in your life, the magic of people, coming together around an idea or a cause, sharing a moment in time, that’s the adult kind of magic and that is much harder to trivialise and forget.
On Torchwood, Ianto died and I was crushed. It was emotional, heart wrenching, painful to watch, and even harder to accept. It seemed to create a bond between people, strong enough to create his Shrine in Wales, where the show was filmed. So why not take the Doctor(s) to see it.
This probably won’t be my last Lego themed picture but felt it relevant for this response. Was originally posted on my Flickr after a trip to Wales. Go there to see (a lot) more Lego themed photos.

There are definitely worse Lego pieces to step on, but these tiny guys are often a pain to find. To make them pop a bit more in the image, I used a filtering setting to make everything B/W and just focus on the one colour. Tried a few variations, but alas my favourite colour orange was a bit too similar to the floor (bottom image), so decided to feature the purple version instead.
I also found the subject matter entertaining. Grew up with Lego and always found these tiny studs to be exactly that, tiny and very easy to misplace. As an adult, it amuses me that the perception is the same for me, despite having grown considerably in stature and girth.

Chaos to me is being blissfully ignorant about something really bad about to happen because I lacked the capacity to see it coming. Its unpredictability combined fear and despair. Our friend in the image was inspired by that. He clearly has no idea that the sky is literally falling around him, about to plunge his plasticky Lego appendages into chaos. Also got to screw around with a lot of manual settings and high-speed mode to make this image.
Also had a lot of fun taking this. Had to dump my entire Lego collection behind him repeatedly to make the shot the way I liked it. I’m positive my neighbours think I’m supremely accident prone or mental. Should you like it, then I have a whole collection of Lego theme images on Flickr.
