I've always appreciated nature and how beautiful it is. I've also always appreciated how people use it to give pictures a certain charm. So I decided to take my appreciation of the two, my inspiration, and some good ol' Mega Bloks outside to see what I could do.

I started doing this in late spring 2014, where I took the only two figures I had (a Yellow Spartan EOD and a Blue Spartan Mk. VI) to a campout to see what I could do. These were the results: Pic1 Pic2 (Linked because big pictures). Not very good compared to my latest work, but these were the sparks that lit the fire.

Later that year, I went to summer camp in Germany. Over the course of the week, I was supposed to take 6 to 10 photos around the camp for a merit badge project. I had obtained a duplicate of the Blue Mk. VI, and I decided to bring the two of them with me to take more pictures of them outside. For my project, I decided to deviate from the usual photos of trees and the sky and focused on my figures in various situations.

I had fun with that project.

After summer camp, I obtained some more figures. But I kept blowing off taking pictures because of reasons. But at the end of summer, I went outside to take another picture.

I had taken pictures of my tiny Spartans sporadically over the course of the school year. All of those pictures are sitting on my hard drive and haven't been uploaded yet. But they exist so don't go around saying I didn't do anything with my figures since summer.

(Fast-Forward to a few days ago). I got some Bravo Series figures and decided to celebrate by taking pictures. This is something I plan on doing for all of my figures (LEGO included) when I get new ones or if I rebuild one.

And that brings us to today. Last night I experimented with the Ranger's energy sword and a flashlight. Here are the results.

As you can see, I've greatly improved on what I was doing when I started. This goes to prove that great things come from small beginnings.
