Don't Look Back

Satchel Paige: "Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you."

That something is my Lego mini AT-AT! 8D

And with that, my series of photographs for the Same Subject Challenge comes to an end.

Thank you so much for putting up with Mr Bottle for a week. The setups have been minimalistic. I'm not capable of elaborate or dramatic shots. I don't know how to create stunning visual effects. This is me: plain, simple, ordinary. And I have a sneaky feeling that, if I actually get to finish my project, that is how my album will end up being. Full of plain, simple, ordinary shots. One thing at a time, one day after another.
It's a been a very enjoyable series.
I feel I should be shouting, "Behind you!" ;)

LOL What a great way to end your SSC! You are far from plain, simple, and ordinary, Livia. You are artistic, thoughtful, and very complex . . in a very good way. Thanks for letting us see your POV! :)
January 21st, 2012  
All I can say, Livia, is 'simple is beautiful'. I will miss Mr Bottle, I have looked forward to his daily appearances and his wise words. I hope he will pop back now and again, just to say "Hi"?

This is it??? This is how Mr. Bottle comes to an end. Very tragic story.
January 21st, 2012

January 21st, 2012  
This has been a very enjoyable series Livia and you are far too hard on yourself; I also agree with everything Karenann says. If you photos are plain, simple and ordinary then please keep that up as they are enjoyable, amusing and thought provoking to view. :0)

January 21st, 2012  
You must have incredibly high standards if you think your images are plain and dull. I am in envy of your ability to compose the subjects and you technique in capturing them. I don't think that anyone looking at your project would be bored.
January 21st, 2012  
Oh say it isn't so...don't go Mr. Bottle...I have loved following you! Creative series...thank you for sharing with us!

BumBumBum reminds me of "War of the Worlds" a bit. That movie scared me :) I bet Mr Bottle is looking foward to his time off, he's been busy!
January 22nd, 2012  
It has certainly been a fun filled week.
January 22nd, 2012  
I have enjoyed the adventures of Mr Bottle Livia - nothing plain and simple about them. They've been minimilistic and extremely clever.
January 22nd, 2012

I've really enjoyed this series Livia, you did a wonderful job with the entire setup, from the great minimalistic shots, to the wonderful captions. I'll be a little sad to see Mr. Bottle leave us...
January 22nd, 2012  
Nice job incorporating this guy =).
January 23rd, 2012  
Thank you to everyone for following Mr Bottle for a week! I appreciate your supportive and encouraging comments. This little challenge-project turned out to be a lot more fun than I had anticipated. Mr Bottle may make future appearances. I've become rather fond of him too. He's very inspiring, for a tiny bottle. 8D

Again, thank you so much!
January 23rd, 2012  
Beautiful and unexpected finish - glad to hear Mr. Bottle will be able to appear again!
January 23rd, 2012  
Ha...you made me smile after a busy day and more business to come. Great one Livia.
January 23rd, 2012  
Hahaha, you're really cool ¦). Enjoyed your Mr Bottle series indeed; had humour, drama, slice of life, coolness...all in all a great series :). Great job Livia :)
