Hit the Road

Week2 of the BJD photo challenge. This time I took Alex out, since the title for the week (Hit the Road) immediately brought the song "Hit the Road, Jack" to mind. Hence music item -> guitar -> maybe Lex going for a road trip with his band?

:D That song also brings to mind ice hockey of all things. It's a big sport in Finland and the season is about to start. That means that I'll be seeing Valentine less, him being a sports fan(atic). I might go to watch a few games myself and then I'll quite probably hear this song. "Hit the Road, Jack" is the song that is always played at our local arena when the visiting team gets a penalty. The cheerleaders always to this funny dance to the music and I love it!



I like how the photo turned out in the end. Alex stood like a rock, a real trooper! I'm always a bit worried when taking standing photos of my big dolls, especially without a spotter, but Alex and Fyrd are the most stable ones. LM engineering, I tell you! It's good (when it comes to legs). It was a damn sunny day, but I found a nice spot with a shadow and some light coming through the leaves above. too bad I couldn't find a narrower road to make it seem more in scale, but it has to do.

Never been to a road trip myself, now that I think about it. My trips are always well thought-out before. I just don't go with the wind and shit.

I'm also no musician myself. I've always dreamed of learning to play the piano, or just plain learn how to read notes. But I know I'll never get around to do that.
