Decided to revisit my very first photo of CJ but with a different, happier style. Once again, I've improved so much in 5 years. While I still love the original, I missed so many details, such as not pushing his head all the way down. 🤦♂️ You can see the original here.
One thing hasn't changed: we'll always try to make our viewers have a smile as big as ours. 😁

On a sad note: Jens Nygaard Knudsen, the designer of Lego people (known as minifigures or minifigs) passed away at age 78 last week. Thanks to his imagination and creativity, he made something that has been a huge part of my childhood (& now my adulthood), sparking the creativity of millions of people around the world.
He was quoted at saying, “I am convinced that the minifigure will live as long as children play with Lego.” Well, Mr. Knudsen, you left behind a legacy that both children and adults love to this day. You will be missed.
I like both portraits- I think the lighting on this one is what perks it up. I must admit the beret is my favorite of CJ;s hats. I wonder if that's due to the fact I married into a French name? smile I wonder if Mr. Knudsen ever expected to impact as many generations as he did- what a lego-acy to leave behind.
@olivetreeann - Thanks Ann!! It's cool to know that I've improved in lighting. His beret is definitely my favorite to hat too. I'll be doing more shots with it soon.
He truly did! Haha, "lego-acy" ...Imma have to remember that pun.
