@Princesstrouble & Collector, Hahah i would if i could actually find the hotdog man, i cant seem to find it or the unicorn or the king anywhere i go, ive been through roughly 3 boxes to no avail, looks like im always too late :lol:
I got the hotdog guy, unicorn girl, and king off of eBay. When my son is with me, he can feel the packages and usually tell what guy is inside. But he was with his dad last week and I didn't want to guess. No guessing with eBay. :)

The unicorn girl would go well with the April Fool's deck.

On the subject of photography, i just found a twin pack of Frank Meadow Sutcliffe cards I think from the 80's. I will post pictures as soon as I have had my morning cuppa.

They came from my father's collection who was an avid photographer. My house has a collection of FMS prints of Whitby Bay in the UK which match some of the photos on the cards.

Love your photos by the way. Some of the backdrops are great and you sure have the knack of taking nice pics.

I hear locoman’s sigh of relief somewhere. :lol: A passionate person (which is keen on nice photos of playing cards) whit a deck of cards and camera can’t be a desirable present in the way of his “place of employment “. ;)

Thanks guys ! Haha i did the luxx shot with kind of "spill" in mind, but looking at it again, i might re-do the picture with a black background (maybe with little drawn on stars) for the scene to look like a rocket taking off into the night sky

Your best work yet Kai. I too like the Luxx "spill" shot. Why not try different background colors to see which comes out best?

Hmm taking pictures of glow in the dark decks becomes difficult when you are too lazy to whip out the tripod XD
