Danbo Makes a New Friend

Hi! I'm Danbo! I moved from Japan to Chicago and now live with Taffy. She's introduced me to some great new friends. Here's Hippo. We hung out starting last night and by today were inseparable. When Taffy said she was going to take my portrait to introduce me to her 365 friends, I asked if Hippo could come too. I hear there are others like me out there on 365. I hope you like where you are as much as I like it here. I have a little box with holes in it that traveled with me. We don't know what that box was for. Do any of you? I did tell her to save it, just in case. I hope I get to appear in some other photos too. I had fun posing tonight!
Taffy also was VERY excited and pleased with all your wonderful comments about her TT photos. She smiled a lot today. Her shot of Chicago is in something called an alternate album: http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2013-09-28
My Danbo would like to reply: Hope and I have tried many ways to use that little box and are stumped.In fact we don't even use the round disc.you are a very handsome Danbo and are lucky you have that cool Hippo to play with. Lol.I love it Taffy!great shot.And I just got my Crystal ball today.I figure with winter coming all props are welcome!

@mzzhope OH --what fun!! I can't wait to see your crystal ball shots. We're thinking along the same lines! I remember starting in January and spending 4 months mostly wishing it weren't so cold and scrounging for things to photograph in the house. Danbo thanks you for the kind welcome. And I'm glad I'm not the only one stuck in figuring out that box!

Hello dear Danbo! I'm talking on skype to my son in Japan and have asked him if he knows you! I think you have made a very good friend with Hippo - I have a feeling he is a real hip sort of guy! Is he a pigmy hippo. They do have them in Africa!
September 29th, 2013  
Very cute.
September 29th, 2013  
Mr. Danbo is new to me...but he is very cute and sweet. Looks like a bit of fun to include in your album.
September 29th, 2013  
Lovely shot and focus. Great fun narrative, too.
September 29th, 2013  
Hippo looks very shy. They look like a pair with opposite personalities, so it is opposite attraction..
September 29th, 2013  
cute. I love the expression on the danbos' faces. also like the focus and dof here.

Congrats on the new arrival! He looks like he is adjusting well. I can hardly wait to hear/see how he likes the city sights.
September 29th, 2013  
Hi Danbo! I have always wondered where you Danbos get your name? I am glad you have Hippo to keep you company. I am also glad to see your owner plays with toys and props like me. Haha! I have Mr. Metal, Fashionista Barbie, glass elephants, Minions, and some other things "up my sleeve" for winter when the bugs are gone and the weather is bad and no sun outside.
September 29th, 2013  
Danbo is just so cute, so glad he has a new friend. I wish you many wonderful adventures together (and hope we get to see them). Isn't it amazing that this little cardboard figure can display and evoke emotion - never ceases to amaze me.
September 29th, 2013  
Hi Danbo! You and your words made me smile today... thank you... hope to see you more often on 365! :-))

Welcome to your little Danbo from mine! It is fun to play with photography I think. This is a great shot and a great introduction.

Aww, cuteness! Did you have to put him together yourself or does he come like that?
September 30th, 2013  
Cute shot
September 30th, 2013  
@archaeofrog thanks Katie! I bought him via Amazon already assembled. If not, he would never have come out looking like he was supposed to!
September 30th, 2013  
@maggiemae Hippo is actually from South Africa.

What a great image! I like the angle you captured Danbo because his smile is showing on the side. The DOF is perfect. I can't wait for Danbo and Hippo to come on a field trip to visit me. Maybe they need a B & B visit for a vacation? YT B&B is ready to host.

Hello Danbo! Piggy sends you greetings from the Poconos. She's not sure what your box is for, but she'd use it for treasures. Of course what pigs think are treasures, and what boxes think are treasures may differ a bit. She's also wishing she could meet Hippo as they both love playing in the water and Piggy is permanently ready to do that! Welcome to 365- we'll look forward to seeing more of you in the cold winter months!

cute

Wonderful to meet you Danbo. I know you came from Japan but I was wondering exactly where. Our family (well really just me) has been wanting to adopt someone just like you to hang out with me and my camera.
October 4th, 2013  
I do like Mr Hippo!
October 5th, 2013  
Very cute, and very nicely lit.
