Topic: A photographic year with Boba

I have been taking a lot of photographs recently (and having a lot of fun doing it)

Anyway on the site where I post my pictures there is a group where you pick an object and take a picture of it every day for 365 days.

I have chosen the Boba Fett that I sewed for my eldest :D

So for the next 365 days I will be taking a picture of the lovely Boba :D

I hope you enjoy them :D

That is so cute, I hope your eldest enjoys him.

you mean ur going to take pics of the doll in different environments or just a tight shot like the first?
either way...sounds ambitious. ill be watching :P

Devil Girl, if you're serious, and get to day 10, I'll put your series front page on BobaFett.com. :)

Awwwww! I want a knitted Boba Fett!

Although it's cool you can make a " knitted " Boba Fett, Devil Girl!

Excellent! :D

Nifty idea, let's hope your happy snaps button finger doesn't get RSI :P

Thank you :D

Sharra, My eldest really likes him :D

Cujo, I will be taking various different pictures with him in it (like when I fly to see my parents in August I will take a picture of Boba on the plane) It is going to be challenging thinking of 365 different pictures in which I can put Boba into them :D

Wow that would be just so funky if you did do that :D thank you :D I was serious but that is an extra incentive to make sure that I do it (today’s photo has been uploaded :) )

Thanks Masterchief :D (He is sewn not knitted)

LOL BFFCMel :D I will do my best not to :D

Oh sorry, my mistake. :)

Sewn's cool aswell.

That's cool how you have two children called cujo and Sharra! :D

When I have children, I want them to be called Harry and Sarah. :)

Yeah I think he's super!

This is an ambitious project. As a photographer I applaud your dedication. I can't wait to see where this goes!

Thank you :D

Not to worry Masterchief :D I actually have three children. Two boys and one girl :D

Thanks Si Titran :D I have been writing down ideas today but I know there will be a point when I think ‘How on earth am I going to photograph him today?’

There are others doing the same as me so I am going to look at theirs to get inspiration as well :D

Cool. I only have one brother Called Lewis.

He's very cooool. :)

Awe bless that is funky :D my two boys really get on well :D

I am really pleased with how today’s picture turned out :D (LOL I also had fun setting up the picture as well :D )

Cool.

Good for you, Devil Girl! :D

( not in a sarcastic way, mind )

Thank you Masterchief :D

Hehe Boba has been Bungee jumping today :D

Hey Dev, nice thread, I'll be checking it. Your sewn Boba is awesome. You could start a business if you made many and sold them on eBay.

I've been trying to send you a PM, but your inbox is full, so it won't go through. Maybe you could save some of them as .txt files (by copy-paste in Notepad) so you can clear your box and be able to get more?

Talk to you soon :)

Awe thanks a lot :D

I am sorry about that, LOL it appears my inbox is as cluttered as my flat. I will clear some space now :D

Catch you later :D

Edited to add: I have decluttered my inbox :)

Ok great, I should do that too. I have so many PMs from my OH, it's hard not to keep all of those "Love you baby" that he says in each of them, along with the kisses and hugs. He's so sweet.

I'll send your PM now.

Awe bless him, he is sweet :D

Thank you

How do you do those smiley's, Devil Girl?

The Scot is a little bit, confused... :/

They are not here on this site. I think she posts them just like we could post any picture from another site. With the img codes. I might be wrong.

............

I like them.

It'd be cool  to post them, on here though. :(

Thanks Masterchief :)

Terra is right. I have some smiley’s saved on my computer and I have uploaded some of them onto my photbucket account. I then can use them here by using the IMG code :D

It is simple to do and you will be able to do it as well for the times when there is a smiley that you want to use :D

Okay. It doesn't matter anyway. :)

I just liked them. :P

Thank you :D at least you now know that you could get them at some point if you want to :D

... From.....

Where?

( never mind, You didn't say where, that's all.. :) )

I get them from various sites that I have posted on. (Handbag, Damsels amongst others) I have got lots of smiley images saved on my computer :D

Added extra:

I just thought I would add this picture today. I hope you like it :D

Edited to add an edited picture:

Hey thats the  home pg.!

Yup :D Boba has discovered his fan club and is impressed :D

Awesome project Devil Girl, you have come up with brilliant shots so far, i especially like the Mando training lol :D
keep up the good work :D

Awe thank you Ninjax :D The mando training will be a series of photos :D

Todays picture:

‘I don’t need your Mandalorian training, I can beat you any day’ Issues challenges Boba
‘OK, outside’ Boba replied

After a short and vicious fight, Boba easily beats Issues.

‘Maybe I do need Mandalorian training after all’ Issues confesses
‘I will think about it’ Boba replied

17/365 31/05/08

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHGAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
LO FREAKIN' L
That is funny

Thank you Karson :D

Here are some more pictures :D

‘You think you are so big, don’t you Fett?’ Han Solo growled
‘Well, I am Solo’ Boba laughed
‘Erm...well...good point’ Han muttered as he looked for an escape route.

20/365 03/06/08

Bless my youngest son; he managed to get a nasty cut just below his knee when my younglings were playing in their bedroom.

We managed to sort it out and put a bandage on it but Boba decided to give him some TLC as well.

‘Do not worry, you will get better soon’ Boba comforted him as they cuddled.

My son felt much better afterward.

21/365 04/06/08

After much asking, pleading, begging and then finally bribing, Boba agreed to give Issues Mandalorian training.

‘You need extra work as not only are you behind with the training but you were not good to start with. Extra work for you’ Boba explained
‘I will do whatever it takes’ Issues said determinedly

24/365 07/06/08

‘Before you cut the grass in the front garden I need to use it’ Boba told me

I decided to see what he was doing and this was what I found.

‘Now listen, you have to take it in turns to attempt to sneak up on the group. Once you have sneaked up in them individually I will split you up into groups to ambush them’ Boba instructed the Mandalorian trainees

25/365 08/06/08

‘Climbing trees, this is great for keeping fit, it also gives you a good vantage point for locating your enemies and when your enemy are looking for you they do not always look up trees. This is something that you should do often’

What Boba failed to mention to the trainees is that climbing trees is fun.

27/365 10/06/08

‘Right I have taught you about how to fight like a Mandalorian and how to train like a Mandalorian but now you need to know how to be a Mandalorian. Here is the Mandalorian flag, no it is not fancy but then again, Mandalorians are not fancy, we are tough, Brave, loyal to those who deserve it and we show our enemies no mercy’ Boba told the students

Boba revelled in his chance to teach the trainees about how to be a true Mandalorian warrior.

29/365 12/06/08

Boba wanted a class photo of the Mandalorian trainee's but he wanted one with a difference as well as a normal one. He was really pleased with what I did to it.

30/365 13/06/08 (Ooh Friday the 13th :D )

I was going to use the effect in Picnik but I did not want to spend just under $25 to get that effect for one picture. I then decided to experiment with Paintshop Pro and Photoshop (thank you so much to my lovely friend who gave me a copy of it) I was able to use both of them to get the effect that I wanted :D

This is really cool Devil Girl, awesome job :D

Awe thank you Adeptus_Astartes :D

A few more to share :D

After the last confrontation Han did not look well at all and at first Boba was very happy. After a while however he began to miss his infamous rival, so much that he decided to help fix him.

‘Just what is the whisk for Boba?’ I asked him
‘For taking his mind off the pain after the operation, he going to need it’ Boba replied
‘Eek, I do not want to see this’ I replied looking at the tools that Boba would be using

31/365 14/06/08

There was a comment with the last picture which suggested that I provide Whiskey as well to help Han during the operation as well as the whisk :D

‘Woohoo...hic...I am pfhixed..I lurve you Pfhetttt...hic...your my bessss pal, so you are...hic...did I everrr tell you thaaatt’ Han drunkenly said
‘Erm I think you had a little too much Whiskey Solo’ Boba said rolling his eyes.

And order is restored once more.

32/365 15/06/08

‘Right that it, I have had enough of you all. I need to get out of here, on my own’ Boba said as he walked out as fast as possible.

It is completely understandable. He has been very busy doing things with my younglings, training Mandalorians, operating ion Han and dealing with him being drunk.

After several hours walking around the wood at the back of our home he decided to have a rest. Boba like me really likes the wood as it is so lovely and peaceful.

33/365 16/06/08

that is pretty freakin cool!
i love the doll, looks just like boba.
great idea for a group of pictures

Thank you Regimas :D

Here are some more pictures :D

'You have had a few days off. Lots of time to relax I think. Doing this often will build good upper body strength'

Some of the trainees could not do the main exercise so Boba sorted something out for them so that he would not miss out.

35/365 18/06/08

‘Baubau’ My daughter cried out when she was waiting to go into the Homestart Crèche (she loves dolls and soft toys and she calls them Baubau's)

‘Ok then I will help you out’ Boba said (rather reluctantly)

My daughter was very happy and was not long in putting him into the chair and pushing him about the room.

‘‘My reputation will suffer for this’ He muttered under his breath as he was getting pushed around.

Bless him though he was such a gentleman for helping keep her and my son happy while they were waiting, and they were very grateful to him.

36/365 19/06/08
(Ooh 10% through already :D )

Today Boba decided to take the trainees outside to observe their progress and so that the other trainees could see how the others are doing and to see how they can improve.

‘Issues I am most impressed by your progress. Everyone remember to watch and learn from each other, you can always learn something new from watching others’ Boba told the trainees.

38/365 21/06/08

That is very, very cool, Devil Girl, but my puny 12-year old brain can't understand the storyline. :P

" Ahk! The Scoot is confused, ' Aye , ee ' is! "

:P

Hehe Masterchief :D

I have not put all of the pictures on here. There is not really a story to follow but it might make more sense if you see them all :D (there is a link in my signature)

Yesterday’s picture:

Today has been an odd day weather wise. It rained a lot in the morning but it has cleared up this afternoon.

Boba decided that he would stay in anyway and read my new Star Wars book (it arrived yesterday) He says that it is a really good book and he is looking forward to how this latest trilogy develops and ends. (I started reading it last night and I am really enjoying it so far :D )

He does have a dilemma though. He needs to work out which book mark to use (thank you so much to Talkingsun for the fantastic Moo cards :D )

39/365 22/06/08

Here is today’s picture :D

‘Now that the weather has cleared up, it is time for us to go out for a run’ Boba told the trainees.

‘At this time’ a few of the trainees grumbled.

‘Yes at this time’ Snapped Boba ‘and for that you get to run an extra 10Km'

Not surprisingly no one complained after that.

Boba made sure that everyone was running well enough and the trainees actually enjoyed the early morning run.

40/365 23/06/08

Really nice. Interesting frame in the last one too. I really love your pictures. Most of them are just so good, no surprise that you are seriously thinking about becoming professional. You can. You're good.

HA!

It's starting to drift in..........

Awe thank you very much Terra :D that is really funky of you to say that :D I must admit I like to choose frames for my pictures that are a bit different :D

LOL Masterchief :D

Here is today’s picture:

‘I want this whole place spotless byt the end of the day, so we have to work really hard to make sure it is’ Boba told the trainees.

How sweet of Boba to volunteer not only himself but all of the trainees to help me clean up the flat ready for my mum and dad visiting tomorrow.

41/365 24/06/08

P.S I had to go to the dentist today but sadly the dentist must have thought she would get into trouble so I was not able to photograph him in the dentist chair :(

nice pics devil girl.
creative as always
:)

Awe thank you Regimas :D

Here are some more:

‘What is football?’ Boba asked me

‘Well there is a football match on the TV tonight you can watch it.

‘Ooh that sounds good, I will get the trainees to watch it as well’ He told me as he gathered the trainees together to watch the match.

I explained as much as possible during the Euro Semi final between Germany and Turkey.

‘It is enjoyable but it is a bit gentle’ Boba told me

‘Well not all sports end in death Boba, especially not here’ I informed him.

‘I do not think this will be popula5r on Mandalore then, nice for a change though’ He said

The trainees really enjoyed it though, and I was happy that Germany won :D

42/365 25/06/08

Is there any way that I can take a picture of the TV and make it look clearer? (It looks rather bright)

‘I have been informed that next month we will be going to Cornwall for a holiday. I am able to take four of you along with me. I think this will be good for your training. To decide who goes with me I will be holding a Mandalorian championship. You will be split up into two groups, the winners and runners up from each group will come along with me to Cornwall’ Boba explained

‘Lastly the two winners from the groups will battle it out to find out who is the main champion. The winner will win this magazine and cards. I have been told that this Dr. Who and I have got to meet up as we both have interesting stories to tell one another, I will believe it when I see it. The runner up will get this roll of stickers. I have been they are funky and very useful’ He said with more than a hint of sarcasm when talking about the stickers.

‘Understood’ Boba waited for the trainees to nod ‘the championships start next week, be prepared’

45/365 28/06/08

‘Well I think that event could go first and then after that...hey what are you doing here?’ Boba growled as I watched over his preperations.

‘This is top secret’ Boba warned ‘out you go until the championships starts’

Well that was me told then.

46/365 29/06/08

‘The Mandalorian championships have now started’ Boba told the excitedted trainees.

‘Todays even will be an assault couse, this will be timd event so you need to get around as fast as possible. You will start off by climbing up and along the rope to the clibing frame, you will get along there and go under the sheet. After that you will race along on one of the speeders before you will life the weights ten times’ Boba told them

After the race the possitions in the championship are:

1, Santa
2, Giraffe
3, Teddy bear
4, Pirate cat
5, Issues
6, Blue chick
7, Blue bear
8, Gromitt

I hoe you do not mind me double posting this to bump it up again.

I am still doing this (I am on day 309 today)

Here is a Boba Fett motivational poster (you can create your own motivational poster here

I don't consider this double posting, as you're adding substantial creative work, and anyway your last post was in June.

Wow, you never gave up!!!! I am so amazed at your patience. And your pics of Boba keep being creative and cool each day. You're really inspiring. When you make it to the last day, what will you do next?

Ahh, thank you. I am glad that it all right.

Awe thank you, that is really funky of you to day that (hugs) Hehe I am determined to get this project done. It has also been a lot of fun (that helps a lot, I have seen a few people quit their 365 projects)

When I have done I will take a break before I think about starting another 365 project. Even though it only one picture per day you do not realize how much commitment it takes until you are in the middle of it.

I hope you do a new one DG! I really like you're work. I think it's great! ' Aye!

Also, you must've had patience to do it too, I haven't got much patience. :(

But still :)

Thank you MC :D

You are still young though and almost in the words of Obi Wan Kenobi 'You will learn patience' I would not have been able to have done this project when I was your age.

One the 15th May I completed the project :D

Here is the last picture:

Too see the whole year here is the link ( A year with Boba Fett )

It has been a really fun project to do but I think it will be a while before I start another project like this one.
