Today Shelly and I picked the winner of the Toy Photographers Series 18 Minifigures contest from Instagram that we ran with the LEGO Minifigures team and the LEGO group, and three other toy photography groups. And we did this sitting next to each other in Shelly’s home! Yes, I’ve arrived in Seattle ahead of our Oregon Toy Photo Safari this coming weekend! But this isn’t about me, it’s about the contest winner.

Each of the four groups selected a winner and the one that Shelly and I picked as the Toy Photographers winner is…

Drum roll…

@legoschmidt’s wonderfully fun and creative “Cute Baby Party”!

Winner: @legoschmidt - Cute baby party

Now that that’s done, Shelly and I are heading to Cooper’s Ale House to catch up over a few 100% Brett IPA beers. 100% Brett? They must’ve known I was coming! Cheers Seattle.

See you soon Oregon!
