Safe space in a crazy place
Rewind to a few weeks ago. It’s Saturday morning, around 5:30am and I’m walking, in the dark, to the train station to head into London to attend my first ever Toy Safari.

Looking back at the 2018 Melbourne Toy Photographers Meetup
There’s something wonderfully melancholic about gazing out a train window watching the rivulets of rain spill across the glass. That is unless you’re on your way to the 2018 Melbourne Toy Photographers Meetup!
Lessons from a toy safari
It was time to go on safari. What’s not to like? There’s camaraderie, in-jokes, and of course fantastic photography. Go, everyone seemed to be saying. You won’t regret it. It’ll be amazing.
London Toy Safari wrap up
The London Toy Safari took place last weekend. We had 12 toy photographers in all, and it was pretty epic.
Heading to the big city
The London Toy Safari starts tomorrow, and I’ll be hosting 11 Toy Photographers over the weekend, showing them the sights of the city!
The 2018 Melbourne Toy Photographers Meetup
October in Melbourne. The Royal Melbourne Show. The Melbourne International Arts Festival. The Victorian Seniors Festival. And now the 2018 Melbourne Toy Photographers Meetup! While I was off enjoying myself at the Oregon Toy Photo Safari, Tony (@tonytulloch_tp) and Janan (@spideygoeshygge) organised informal toy photo walk in St. Kilda, Melbourne. …
Brickstameet London
This past weekend there was a meet-up in London, a Brickstameet, hosted by The Courteous and cheepjokes who was visiting from Australia. It was a mash up with @igerslondon, who tend to do photowalks around London (and not ones normally involving toys)! I wasn’t going to go, but last minute …

2018 UK Toy Photographers Meet-Up
Whilst everyone else is off enjoying themselves in America, I think it’s time the UK contingent of Toy Photographers starts planning our own 2018 adventures!

Silver Linings
“They say that none of us exists, except in the imagination of his fellows, other than as a intangible, invisible mentality.” – Edgar Rice Burroughs If you’re posting your toy photography images to social media I can only assume you want your work to be seen. Maybe you want it …
LEGO House Opening
This month is going to be a month to remember. Why? Because I’m traveling to Denmark for the opening of LEGO House. I won’t be attending the grand opening on September 28th, but a pre-opening for all the LEGO ambassadors from around the world on September 22nd. I’m franticly getting ready …
2018 Toy Photographers Meet-Up
It’s that time of the year when I start thinking about the 2018 Toy Photographers Meet-Up. Honestly I feel like I’m already behind the eight ball. By this time last year, we already had the city picked out and the locations set. Yikes! But 2018 is still a few months …
The San Francisco Toy Photographers meet up is one month away!
The San Francisco toy photographers meet up is one month away and honestly I can’t wait! I’m excited to see my wonderful friends that I haven’t seen since September. I also get to meet long time internet friends like Ballou34 and Reiterlied. Plus there are more than a few new faces signed up that I will meet …
Put the social back into social media
Let’s all face it, social media is a double edged sword. On one hand it helps us to make connections and find like minded people around the world. On the other hand those freindships are shallow and fleeting. It’s nearly impossible to take those initial connections beyond a superficial level of likes and …
We’re soon leaving for Seattle
Soon, I’ll take my family and board a plane and head to Seattle for a toy photographers meet-up. Why? Yes, why AM I going half way around the world to take photographs of toys?
You’re invited to Seattle!
You’re invited to Seattle to attend the next epic toy photography meet-up from May 20-23! My good friend Jon (Dinoczars) and I will be hosting our second US Stuck in Plastic meet-up because like my favorite philosopher said: “Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?” ― …
