The following description of this creation was written in 2015, and as we all know, my life changed dramatically after 2020:

At the start of 2016, I plan on moving from Queens to Brooklyn into a new loft apartment, where I can focus on more ambitious creative ventures, and to have my own personal photo studio. To kick off the new year, I’d like to release a self-published coffee table book of my best toy photography and LEGO creations from 2011 to 2015. This photo seen here is what I’m thinking I’ll use as the book’s cover: I shot this on a particular Sunday night at the corner of 34th St. and 9th Ave. in Manhattan – using slow exposure with unfortunate strong winds all around me. I carefully balanced my Amish magnifigure atop a recycle bin, and successfully framed the Wyndham New Yorker Hotel in the background!
