Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

March 25, 2014 By Brian 11 Comments

This is my life…

This week, the League of Extraordinary Bloggers was challenged to photograph their life in one square foot. Let me just say that this was TOUGH! If I were to do this challenge again, I would probably end up with a totally different result. I figured the best way to do this was to just jump right in and not worry about making everything perfect — which certainly would NOT be a  true representation of my life — and here’s the result…

my life in one square foot

I’m not even going to attempt to explain everything shown here, but rest assured, each item in the picture represents a big part of my life.

This was a pretty fun assignment, and if you’re looking for more inspiration, check out Rich’s life over at the Nerd Nook for a great example! If you want to make a photo of your own, post your entry on Instagram, Facebook, or your blog, and leave a comment on the topic page so people will know where to find it.

    I’m not sure that it needs explaining. It’s a good looking square.

    I would have participated….But I do not have a camera anymore. Cannot spend the money to get one for awhile.

    And thus begins my quest to seek out a crystal skull so that I can wish I had your life.

    Nice variety there 🙂

    Is that green object at the top some sort of crystal?

      It’s a piece of slag rock I found when I was a kid. One of the first items I ever collected.

    Those Buck Rogers cards are awesome! I also love the dirty monkey toy, the key, fishing lure, C&C Magazine, LEGO baseplate, and the baby hospital beanie. 🙂
