Minifig challenge

About a year ago i started collecting Lego Minifigures. (and let me say it now. It's Lego. NOT LEGOS. Who are you, Americans?). They release two series a year (pretty much) but i didn't get into them til Series Three was available. It means i spend many afternoons sitting on the floor of Target feeling my way through packets (it's like a lucky dip) to get ones i'm missing (If anyone has the graduate from series six... it is my birthday after all...). 
So i have all of 3, 4, 5 (except that Graduate) and then the lovely Boyfriend went and bought be series 1 complete for Christmas (and individually wrapped them all, coz he's cute like that). I'm also on holidays at the moment. And while i love my long breaks over summer, it sucks because no one else has the time off and they're all off doing this weird thing called 'work' so I have to amuse myself. 

I have decided to do that in two different ways. 
1. I will walk somewhere interesting every day. I love walking, it's the only form of exercise I actually enjoy. I've been walking from my house in Malvern to St Kilda quite a bit in the last couple of months, and yesterday i walked to Hawthorn. I'm picking places that are between 4km and 6km away and i can PT back from, with the added bonus of them having coffee/food at the end of them. It allows me to explore my side of the city a bit more. I have Camberwell and South Yarra on my list of places to walk to as well. 

2. I will take interesting/funny/cute photos of my minifigs: I have so many of them, i just want to do something with them. I pick one, then figure out what/how i want to photograph. It combines two of my interests! Awesome fun right? I've done three so far, and the first is my favourite. I'll publish them all to my Tumblr (http://sothisisstrange.tumblr.com/) and collate them all back here at the end of the holidays. If i like them enough, i'm thinking of getting a photobook of them printed!

I had terrible trouble with the light on this one. Too bright or too shady. This is actually taken with my RayBans as a filter over my iPhone camera
