I'm not sure about the rest of you, but when I was young, I had a couple of toy airplanes. To me there was something quite fascinating about airplanes. As most of you know, I collect various things, and I am constantly on the look out for some of the old toys that I remember from my childhood. This is a new plastic toy plane that I bought from our gift shop at work, just for the theme this week. It looks very similar to one I used to have, except mine was all metal, very heavy. The other week I came across an old bull dozer in an antique store, just like one I used to have as a child. Do you remember the old tractors that had the rubber traction bands that wrapped completely around the wheels, and on the side of the tractor was the huge metal key that was used to wind it up? I was very surprised, because that was the first time I saw one that was so close to the one I had as a child, and it was in excellent shape. Well, my surprise turned into a big gulp when I saw the price tag. $475. I couldn't believe it. So it still remains a memory. I had fun playing around with this little plane, and doing some editing. It is nothing real special, but I had fun.
The memories are priceless, unfortunately antiques are not! I like your airplane shot- especially how you made it look like it's flying. Makes me feel like I'm watching an old WWII movie. Great shot!
oh you edited it really well! i love the movement of it!! very neat story too!! i think more ppl should try to hold onto some of their toys! you never know what they will be worth!
I love your action oriented editing! I know what you mean about the price of toys. My mother wanted her childhood doll, so I looked for it on Ebay. It was several hundred dollars.
I found a tractor at a flea market like my brothers and I use to play with -- I so wanted it -- until I saw the outrageous price tag on it! Yes, it remains a memory! Our old toys are very special!!
What great processing. It looks old, metal and in the clouds. Great job. And yes, if we had the foresight and space to save all the toys of our childhood, we could retire in comfort, but as they say, "Who knew?"
