Let me tell you of a man Some years ago I stumbled across a feed on Instagram. The name of the feed pointed out clearly that most of the content was about hotdogs and burgers. Clearly something I was interested in. I followed that account and saw that its owner was visiting my hometown. I …
TGiF- Thank Godtfred it’s Friday again. Hello, it’s Stefan on behalf of the SiP crew. Let’s sit down for a virtual cup of coffee and talk to a friend of our little blog about themselves, their photography and about the #SiPgoes52 challenge again. This week I thought I’d be extra clever and offer a cup …
I’d like to start my new story with thanking dear Shelly for this great fest of unity and creativity that she brings to us. The more I tell about my hobby the better I know what the Time Travel is. After showing my Five Favorite Figures to you I had the impression that this adventure …

After …

What’s my first toy photo? The origins, as discussed here in the Stuck in Plastic blog before, are important, where you come from reflects on what you do later in life. I grew up in a home where I had Lego and an access to a camera, they were always there, sometimes the camera even …
In the beginning I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I had been working on a dinosaur-themed comic book and purchased a few toy dinosaurs to help with anatomical designs.
