Q: Where did you get this idea from?
A: A number of people/friends I know have started 365’s of their own. As an aspiring amateur photographer, I of course wanted to give it a try. The LEGO thing was just my spin on it.

Q: Are you really going to take one picture each day?
A: I’m going to try my hardest. Certain extenuating/unforseen circumstances may prevent me, but unless something really drastic happens I plan on it.

Q: It looks like you skipped a day / You posted two on the same day…cheater!
A: Sometimes I am unable to get the pictures off my camera, or do the proper processing, or get them uploaded every single day. So I post them as soon as possible. But I can assure you each picture is taken on the correct day (check the EXIF data for the pictures – available at my Flickr page).

Q: Where do you get your ideas?
A: Some I get from friends, others just pop into my head when I see something. But most of the time I have an idea that I just happened to think of previously.

Q: Why don’t I see more variety of LEGO pieces?
A: I had the unfortunate occurrence of a bunch of LEGOs from my childhood go missing. So I use what I have, and am in the market for getting some new sets/pieces.

Q: Where can I see other photography by you?
A: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rattleandhum

Q: What are you going to do after the 365 days are done?
A: I’d like to make a photobook, or a calendar.

Q: What kind of equipment do you use?
A: http://legomyphoto.wordpress.com/equipment/

Q: I added you to my blogroll, can you add me to yours?
A: Well, I started doing this, but there are so many of you to add. So I’m going to do it on a specific basis, so if your blog isn’t added please don’t be offended. And I am much appreciative of your listing!

Q: What is your name/handle when you post responses to someone in the comments section?
A: mrphelps

Q: Can I leave comments / suggestions / feedback?
A: Absolutely.

Q: Can I tell a friend about your blog?
A: Yes, please!

Q: Do you like pie?
A: Yes.

    I’m so very sad that I didn’t find this until there were only 10 days left!! I loved your pictures, and I wish you would consider continuing past the year goal. I would definitely read it every day!
