@Princesstrouble & Collector, Hahah i would if i could actually find the hotdog man, i cant seem to find it or the unicorn or the king anywhere i go, ive been through roughly 3 boxes to no avail, looks like im always too late

I got the hotdog guy, unicorn girl, and king off of eBay. When my son is with me, he can feel the packages and usually tell what guy is inside. But he was with his dad last week and I didn't want to guess. No guessing with eBay.

The unicorn girl would go well with the April Fool's deck.

On the subject of photography, i just found a twin pack of Frank Meadow Sutcliffe cards I think from the 80's. I will post pictures as soon as I have had my morning cuppa.

They came from my father's collection who was an avid photographer. My house has a collection of FMS prints of Whitby Bay in the UK which match some of the photos on the cards.

Love your photos by the way. Some of the backdrops are great and you sure have the knack of taking nice pics.

Haha but PT, the fun is spending the time at toys r us feeling for the legos and the satisfaction of getting the desired minifig !

Thanks Goonie =) Cant wait to see more of you and your dads collection =)

Year of the Goat ! So my closest deck that has a goat on it is requiem, not sure if the family will appreciate the courts Welllll at least its red on the inside as well right ?

I dont usually do stuff other than decks, but this one i just love too much, it might just get me started on coins..

Just something simple for Golden Spike, wish i had a railway near me,but unfortunately thats not the case
Ps. Im terrible at balancing things.. wanted to do the entire deck, gave up and used a single card..

Awesome pictures mate. Just started following you on Instagram

I hear locoman’s sigh of relief somewhere. A passionate person (which is keen on nice photos of playing cards) whit a deck of cards and camera can’t be a desirable present in the way of his “place of employment “.

@Frimann Thanks for the complements =)

@Collector, actually theres a defunct one not too near my place, pretty inaccessible, but perhaps just perhaps. Haha ill always be safe dont you worry =D

When the colours start to blend..

Remember, you have promised

Oh man, now i cant choose which to submit for JP's contest. How now brown cow?

i like them all

You need a good picture to win as you may have some tough competition

I really think Number 1 is the best of the three

Love the Luxx shot

Luxx is my favourite of the 3

Thanks guys ! Haha i did the luxx shot with kind of "spill" in mind, but looking at it again, i might re-do the picture with a black background (maybe with little drawn on stars) for the scene to look like a rocket taking off into the night sky

Yeah I like the spill effect you were going for. The rocket idea might work even better

What do y'all think ? I like this one

The first LUXX picture + red silk background instead of white one

Some of the LUXX photos that didnt make the official cut =) (mostly because of the chips ) If you are on the fence about these, dont. They are well worth it =D

Your best work yet Kai. I too like the Luxx "spill" shot. Why not try different background colors to see which comes out best?

Havent posted here in a little while. But since im not sure if paul would ever use these, heres my take on the classic LUXX V1

Beautiful work Kai, love the King and Queen shot

Thanks buddy ! Cards make really good bookmarks actually ! But sometimes they are a little slippery and go missing all the time

Since im on a roll.. how about some of Giovanni's work ?

Awesome photos!

So this little gem came in a little while back..

Oh yea and i did this as well Dont stare at it too long, makes your eyes go

Hmm taking pictures of glow in the dark decks becomes difficult when you are too lazy to whip out the tripod XD
