Before and After -Toys

The Day Before Christmas


Before and After
Toys

     Christmas is finally upon us, so I thought I'd present to everyone some toys that I presented "as is"  for E-Bay and the same ones that I "cleaned up" in Photoshop. Everyone has different Christmas wishes, so here are toys for those who like them in their found stage, and the same ones, Photoshopped to look like what they almost were when they came to market.

      So this it it for today.  I hoped that you've enjoyed reading this blog and my Photography blog, as much as I have enjoyed writing it. By years' end, I will have had near 10,000 page reads from both my blogs. Toys are of course, more popular. My photography blog is slower because I started it later, and it's hard to "catch it" in a search Engine (*e.g. Google). Nevertheless, I'll keep moving on.


To all of you who have have visited this blog and my other one, I wish you a happy holiday (whatever you may celebrate) and a Healthy and Happy New Year to you as well.

  1. Hi Stacey, would it be possible for you to email me? I'm seeking your permission to use some of your toy airplane pictures in an essay that will appear on airspacemag.com. Here is the first essay of a new column I'm doing for them-- http://www.airspacemag.com/air-candy/136075828.html I want permission to knock some of your planes out of their backgrounds and place them in an essay about earliest memories on airplanes. I would credit you and put a link to your blog at the bottom of the essay. My email address is max@maxair2air.com
    My web site is: http://maxair2air.com/
    Thank you!
