(Day 309) - Something's Afoot

CJ and I returned to Santa Monica Pier for one last photo. I wanted to try a creative shot with his little footprints next to a big human's footprint. Just before pushing the shutter, this barefoot gentleman randomly walked into frame adding to the sense of scale. 👣😄

*We also had a random scare. While setting up this photo, a curious little boy around the age of 4 asked me what I was doing. Told him that I'm taking photos of my little Lego friend.

Suddenly, the little tyke grabbed CJ and said, "He needs to go swimming!" as he attempted to throw him in the ocean!!!!!!!

I quickly blurted, "No, no, no! He needs to stay here to take photos."

Happy, he listened and put him back as his mom called him over to her. Gosh, kids are bold; was NOT expecting that. CJ survived another close call!*

Great capture in the sand. Perhaps you should have some body doubles of CJ just in case of mishaps if that is possible. Fav

Fantastic sense of scale! And beware of kids - they can be very dangerous to a little legographer, even if their intentions are good.

@wendyfrost - Thanks Wendy for the comment and fav! I do have extra pieces for CJ just in case something does happen (mainly heads and extra camera). I just didn't have them with me today and it totally caught me off guard how quickly the little kiddo reacted. Haha.
