About LEGO365
Hi.
I’m Dan. I love LEGO, and I love photography – so it only seemed natural to mix them.
From June 1, 2008 – May 31, 2009, I took a photo with a LEGO mini-figure every day. An entire year. This blog chronicled that project .
Then LEGO started releasing the collectible series of minifigures, supplying me with a seemingly unending array of different characters to create fun with. So, I decided to do it again. Year two ran August 1, 2010 – July 31, 2011. All those photos are here as well. All told, there are well over 730 photos here, mixed in with some contests, LEGO book reviews, and some random cool stuff I wanted to share.
For my other photography, please check out my Flickr page, here.
To contact me, email me at: dphelpsphoto[at]gmail[dot]com
Follow me on Twitter & Instagram: @theSurlyBiker
To buy copies of my photos, photobooks, calendars, and more go here.
If you re a publisher that would like to help me get my photobooks published for real so I can offer them at a much cheaper price than Blurb lets me, please contact me. Same thing for the calendars. You know you want to.

a LEGO a day 
Why, oh why, wasn´t this my idea? So cool-funny.
I saw “A space odyssey” just a few nights ago so I
could appreciate the Monolith. But my kids, they just… What?!!

Hi! I am sending this to you from my DSi, so do not worry if it is spelled wrong. Anyway, how do you make you pictures so funny? Thanks

Hi webmaster!
July 8, 2008 at 9:26 pm
Just stumbled upon your page and had to call my 6yo son in. He loves Legos and I think his little brain is working now, thinking about all the crazy things he could do with his legos. We’ll be checking back to see the rest of the pics.
He was sad to see that several of the pics weren’t working (they come up blank) like today’s picture. He wants to look at them again.
July 20, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Thanks! There was a problem with the image servers earlier, but everything is back up and running now!
July 20, 2008 at 10:14 pm
Very much enjoying your daily blog photos. Makes me laugh so keep up the good work!
July 21, 2008 at 8:31 am
I’m back. My 6yo son just came in and begged to see today’s picture. I realized after the last message that it was a server problem with the pictures…all of mine were gone as well. I also discovered your Flickr account just after posting that so we got to look at all the pictures there. Kudos for the great idea. You inspired my children.
After they saw your blog they took their Legos, dinosaurs and camera out to the back yard and were having an adventure and snapping pictures of all the action.
July 21, 2008 at 6:31 pm
Hiho! LOVED Capsized this week! Set up is perfect and the water…crafty to create or lucky to catch it…just great. Really enjoying the series Dan.
July 22, 2008 at 5:20 pm
Your site is rad. You possess a good eye for photography, the concept is very creative. I remember most of these sets!
Favorites: Frozen in ice, space odyssey, cutting down the tree, poker, beheaded warrior, and clue.
July 26, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Hi! I just Love the idea and the execution. Your blog goes to my links. Keep up the good work 🙂
July 30, 2008 at 5:36 am
What a fantastic idea! I love it. The concept, the url, everything. I really got a kick at looking at all of your images. Great photography too. I can’t wait too see more.
Hope you don’t mind a honorable mention on my blog.
July 31, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Thank you for your wonderful blog, I found it just when I really needed a laugh. I’ll definitely be back. Keep it up. 🙂
August 5, 2008 at 11:30 pm
These are fabulous and I’m glad I found this site. I’ll be back.
And please consider making a calendar when you’re finished! I’d buy a bunch!!
August 6, 2008 at 9:47 am
My sons & I are loving these photos, & they’re especially fond of the Star Wars ones! We like your captions, too.
August 7, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Briliant site. You’ve inspired me to add a “Site of the day” section on my blog! Check it out when you have time. http://www.terrylee.net/blog
August 8, 2008 at 6:00 am
Oh these are just wonderful — my kids just love checking it out each day — thanks for the laughs
August 8, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Found you through a friend on Plurk.com and added you to my blogroll (http://gwenelle.wordpress.com/blogroll/). Such a fun, creative idea! I’ll be sure to check back often to see what’s new!
August 11, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Very fun idea!! My kids love the legos too – and yep, have grabbed our little camera to have some fun of their own.
August 12, 2008 at 12:57 am
You have a fan here… great project and photos.
August 13, 2008 at 8:56 pm
I think this is a very cool idea. I’m gonna try it out my self, and
keep up the good work!

August 21, 2008 at 9:39 pm
This is an awesome blog. Keep up the work. Your creativity is awesome. It’s one thing to pledge to take a photo a day, but it’s another to show as much creativity behind each photo as you do.
August 22, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Thanks everyone for the kind words 🙂

greetings from switzerland! I just came across your blog today and had to leave a message to say that I really had a lot of fun “flipping through the pages” of your blog. Your pics are full of creativity and humor! I surely will be visiting your site on a regular basis !

Always enjoy your Lego guys!!! My personal favorite (so far) is the Burger King “prop” So clever, so funny. If you had a calendar we would buy it. Seems like a lot of legal mumbo junmbo. I hope you never tire of taking the photos, or the Lego figures rebel against you. LOL, We tell many people about you and have even marked you as a favorite on our local Apple store’s computers, iphones and ipod touches!!!! You are famous.
September 16, 2008 at 7:07 pm
I also love Lego and just bought this hoodie from headhoods.com. I love it!
September 18, 2008 at 6:05 pm
Are you willing to sell some of these images? For private use. My son is crazy about the “gonna need a bigger boat” pic and I would love to frame it for his room. Thx, the whole family loves this site.
September 29, 2008 at 4:12 pm
When I have completed the 365, I will be making a photobook containing all of the photos, as well as hopefully sell each print individually – the good ones anyway – or any by specific request. I need to work out legal issues with LEGO before I sell anything. I know it’s a long time to wait, but please understand! Thank you! and Thanks for checking!
September 29, 2008 at 4:43 pm
Thanks for the response. The boys and I are really enjoying the website.
October 5, 2008 at 3:46 pm
Thats a great idea!
I also love lego and make photo-stories with these figures 🙂
October 11, 2008 at 6:59 pm
I can never come up with a subject for my lego photos. Where do you get your inspiration?
October 31, 2008 at 8:00 pm
a deranged mind and a lot of free time.
October 31, 2008 at 10:24 pm
a deranged mind? cool 😉
November 1, 2008 at 6:38 am
First let me say this blog is awesome! I love your creativity, both photographic and with the Lego scenes. If I may be so bold, here’s an idea for a future picture: Have you thought of combining the “little” Lego with some of the “Big” Lego designed for toddlers? My daughter turned 1 last month and I just “had” to get her her first set of Lego. It got me to thinking, those little Lego guys on your blog would really have some fun with a “larger than life” sized block! Hopefully you have a friend with kids who could loan you some BIG Lego blocks.

Very cool website and very nice pictures. They bring back a lot of memories :-).

WOOOOOW… I Love It… It would be an awesome wallpapers collection… isn´t it ?? I´d like to have all the photos in hi-resolution for my computer.
It´s a very good job. I hope you to continue doing this this collection another year… 😀
December 27, 2008 at 11:04 am
great idea, and nice site, some really brilliant shots!
December 27, 2008 at 8:50 pm
I love it! have added the link to all my sent mail. Many people have commented on it. Can’t wait to see you some late night show somewhere!
January 9, 2009 at 5:18 pm
Hi;
We’re checking out your pictures from Alberta, Canada. Great job, can’t wait to see more pictures!
January 9, 2009 at 7:58 pm
this is very creative idea. What a cool blog 🙂
January 12, 2009 at 8:42 am
Your lego figures take me back to my own childhood, spending hours building whatever came to mind.
I think I had some of the same sets as you have – the pirates are particularly familiar.
January 18, 2009 at 11:12 pm
I love your site. I regret that I didn’t find it from the beginning. Keep it up
January 19, 2009 at 8:19 pm
whoa! GREAT idea!! ;p
January 21, 2009 at 12:32 pm
I’ll be showing my 6 yr old son this as soon as he gets home from Kindy. I am sure he’s going to be enamored. Thanks for sharing your creativity!
January 21, 2009 at 1:01 pm
Love it! What a clever idea. I found your photos on flickr while searching for pictures of Lego cookies. Your blog is now bookmarked and I’ve passed the link on to friends. Nice work.
January 23, 2009 at 8:10 pm
I found your photos on Flickr and am about to ‘mark the blog. Keep up the good work! *Respeck Knuckles*
January 27, 2009 at 12:22 am
hey do you mind if I set up a thing like this, its not completely like this but I just wanted to show lego photos inspired by your creations and I even made up a hiker/traveler but more of a traveller with a bakpak like the hikers and a backpack.
January 28, 2009 at 10:22 pm
you’re of course free to do whatever you like! Only thing I would ask is that you please give me credit where it is necessary (link to this site, or something to that effect). Please no derivative works from my images without credit to the original, etc.
Thanks!
January 28, 2009 at 11:06 pm
very nice photography and the witty comments add to the depth 😀 keep it up!

I just found your site, and I spent a good amount of time looking through all the old posts and laughing out loud.
I just have to admit: the Storm Troopers are so CUTE! 🙂
February 28, 2009 at 3:16 pm
I second that, I had a good half hour look before my lunch break was over. Cool stuff and a good inspiration!
March 3, 2009 at 7:24 am
Okay, I’m so behind the times….FINALLY found your blog and LOVE IT! Cannot wait to show my 6 year old who will then continue to bother me 24 hours a day about visiting your blog to see all the great things you’ve done. I think it’s a shame that Lego does not authorize, sponsor, or endorse your site. They absolutely should!
March 3, 2009 at 9:20 am
I am a 43 yo mum from Sydney Australia who has loved lego all her life. This is by far the coolest thing I have seen! BRILLIANT
March 3, 2009 at 7:17 pm
Keep up the great work! I get busy and miss a while but love catching up. I am so impressed that you continue to shine with this project. Congratulations!

March 9, 2009 at 2:04 am
Really funny blog. How do you make one?
March 9, 2009 at 3:16 pm
I am loving your sense of humor. Pictures are great too.
In a little over an hour I’ll be picking up my 9 year old from school. I guarantee he’ll spend an insane amount of time at your blog and then he’ll try to mimic with his own legos. Guess I’ll have to hand over my old point and shoot… And if he doesn’t (which I doubt) I may have to myself. I buy my boys legos because I am the one who loves them… thankfully they have their mothers dork qualities that make us all so endearing
March 12, 2009 at 1:54 pm
Just found your blog. What a wonderful concept. I’ll be back to check out more of your photos!
March 13, 2009 at 11:53 am
My friend sent me the link, knowing how much my family enjoys LOGO’s (and how much I love photography). I absolutely love the compositions, the picture quality and most of all the great captures! I think you had a brilliant idea when you started this blog.
Thanks for making my day!
March 13, 2009 at 4:11 pm
Hi, I’m Blake, I’m 9 years old and I love lego’s too!
I love making videos of my lego guys and have lots of them on YouTube.
Lately I’ve started taking photos and making stop-motion videos. You should check some out!
One of my best: volcano!
and: a plant in lego world!
Hope you like them.

You are cool,Dave! Since I am only a kid, I want to do something like you. So, I have a camera and I took a pic of my lego guy in money. You should do that!

good luck!
March 29, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Thanks! I’ll let you know when I start the site!
May 1, 2009 at 5:54 pm
I was wondering if you’d consider doing a scene that’s a tribute to the Flood Fight going on in Fargo, ND There’s certainly a lot of material to draw from….
March 30, 2009 at 4:49 pm
Its awsome that your a teacher in my grade, in my favorite subject! Why did’nt you become a photagropher if you love taking photos of Legos? I hope you and Annies relationship works out!

I teach grades 5-6-7-8 gifted and I just showed all my classes your website–they are cracking up!!!! They are smart enough to get many of the captions–so funny to watch them “get it”!!! They especially liked the Narnia one and the “bad day to be a stormtrooper” one. My own sons are 8 and 10 and HUGE lego boys–they loved it too!!! thanks for such an offbeat fun thing!!!

It is traditional amongst the AFOL community to show appreciation for a LEGO blog or webcomic by sending a gift of LEGO to the artist. You don’t seem to have covered this option in your blog anywhere. Perhaps you could add it to you FAQ?
April 26, 2009 at 5:42 am
This is hilarious! But also really good art. Keep it coming 🙂
May 2, 2009 at 5:59 am
This is a really neat idea. I’m doing something similar with a Troll doll. You can read about it in my blog. I’ll definitely be back!
May 4, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Oh dear – why have I only just discovered this? I loved lego as a kid and my son is now a real lego addict – I’ll have to show him!
May 5, 2009 at 11:09 am
My 6 year old son is going to be disappointed when the 365th day is here. He looks forward to our photos and has even tried to take some of his own. He used to just play with the bricks and build and now you have spurred his imagination to include the mini figures in his play. Thank you!

These are just wonderful! I ‘ll bet you are a great elementary teacher!
Thanks for the fun!
June 6, 2009 at 11:51 am
Too cool. I see in your FAQs a lot of people do “365”s but this is the first I’ve come across. And its fun; thanks.
June 8, 2009 at 11:58 am
do a search on flickr and you’ll find oodles and oodles. the majority of them will be self-portrait 365s. these are usually full of overly photoshopped photos. personally, I find them boring.
if i’m following or doing a 365, i’d want to see something different every day.
June 8, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Hey, awesome blog! I enjoyed it! Real dedication!

Enjoyed your site very much. Your photo’s have inspired to take some holiday pictures the same way when I’m holiday next month. Blending the minifigs into the real world.
Too bad you’re done now…

Hi
I have a 4 year old son and a box of Lego since he was 2 but he rarely plays with it. I have never had any Lego as a child and I am not very creative with it. How to encourage him? I think playing with Lego is a fantastic thing!

Hi Dan,
Love your work… found it a little after the fact -but it’s still great! Hope the book goes well… can’t imagine that it wouldn’t! 🙂 I’d love to link you to my blog and put some of your photos on there (credited, of course) can I do that? Again – awesome work!
September 20, 2009 at 10:53 am
Yes, that is fine. As long as they are credited and point back to this site please!

Hi
You are a very fine Lego artist, and I want to be as good as you. Can you please do another year? I think your Lego pictures are very fine, and I get new ideas all the time. E.g I have been inspired by the storm-troopers wardrobe and the weight-lifters.
Greetings from Norway, Elias (9)
October 9, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Elias, thanks for stopping by and I’m glad you’re inspired! I don’t have the ability to do another year right now – just don’t have the time!
Maybe soon I will do another project.

I stumbled upon this site tonight and I’m thrilled! My whole family loves Legos! We use Legos to do things as a family – whether playing Lego Star Wars on the Wii, celebrating the holiday with our Lego Advent Calendar, or just building!
My son & husband made a stop-action Lego movie last year for our son’s elementary school’s film festival. It’s great to see an educator with so much creativity!! Thanks for sharing with the world – we’ll be watching your creations!
December 17, 2010 at 8:23 pm
This is such a great collaboration of two things you are passionate about.
Interesting that I stumbled upon this, we are residents of TN and we have a 5th Grade student. Coincidence . . . . From the amount of snow in your recent posts you must be in East TN while we are in Middle TN though.
Just a few days ago I heard about a Dad her photographed his daughter everyday for 10 years and then put a time lapse video of the photographs together and it was awesome. That might be a cool way to view your photos together in one place.
December 18, 2010 at 11:58 am
This blog is SO AWESOME!! I really like your creativity and your dedication. Legos are awesome and so is photography, so that definitely makes sense to put them together! I’m in Tennessee too, so I hope you’re staying warm!

Just tumbled on your blog today (yes via WP home page).
Amazing idea you had for this project, great pictures and lots of creativity.
My 7y and 4y kids love it!

I love Lego & photography! You’ve done a great job and I really enjoy your pics.
Thanks for putting a smile on my face today.

Thank you for the GREAT pictures! You have inspired my 2 who LOVE Legos. They are now wanting their own blog to post their Lego pictures on. They are 7 & 8 and have been taking pictures all day!

love your page man. really cool

First off I think it’s awesome, I laughed so hard at day 94, I damn near fell off my chair. My only suggestion is to work on the captions, the photography is good, and I like the abstract visuals that you use some of the shots.
I think the best idea would be to post the picture, and then ask for comments on what the caption should be.
Just my two cents though

COOL!!! love your blog.
December 19, 2010 at 10:10 pm
Really liking the concept, I’m a fan of LEGO too but then who isn’t?
I do a similar sort of thing on my blog, http://apictureeachday.wordpress.com, where I take a picture each day of my first year at university to give people an idea of what student life is like these days, if maybe they haven’t been yet or are just interested.
Take a look and if you’ve got any feedback, feel free to say!

Love the photos. Like legos too. 🙂 saw webpage and liked it right then also impresive story

I have just a dangerous thing and showed this to my other half…I can hear his LEGO brain ticking away rattling out ideas to use with the big box of LEGO we keep on top of the wardrobe for emergencies of a LEGO nature.
December 27, 2010 at 4:45 pm
Do you have an archives? I want to explore your previous posts without having to scroll through pages and pages. Thanks, and Happy New Year!
January 1, 2011 at 12:34 pm
If you don’t want to scroll through the pages, you can view the entire first 365 project on my Flickr page here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rattleandhum/sets/72157605378152096/
The first few weeks are a little rough – some not so good photos – but once I found my footing both in the ideas and the photographic part of it, the pictures really improved. There’s a lot of my favorite photos I’ve ever taken in the first year. Please enjoy.
Also, let me know which ones anyone would be interested in buying prints of so I know what to offer up for the next round!
January 1, 2011 at 1:39 pm
Thanks for the link! 🙂 And print-wise…the ‘investigator’ series is my favorite.
January 2, 2011 at 6:28 pm
Seriously cool stuff, I try and get a bit of LEGO into my 365, but this idea is awesome.
Like someone above has said, I wish this had been my idea!
Good luck with the rest of the project.

Hi Dan,
Stumbled on your site through google alerts. I’d like to see your lego art each day & was wondering how to sign up for that. Are you on facebook?
There will be a lego robotics art talk at a local gallery where I am volunteering & I think the others would love to see your work.
You have a delightful sense of humor!

Hi Christine,
The best thing to do is just bookmark this blog! You can also click the RSS button to add it to your RSS feed – this is assuming you use an RSS reader to compile posts and news in one spot.
I also post the photos – and all the rest of my regular photos, on my Flickr page – which can be found in the Links list at the bottom of every page.
I am on Facebook – but it’s just my personal account. I have not created a page for my photography. I’m not a pro-photog business, so I wasn’t sure if it was appropriate.
I’d love to have exposure in a gallery! Please feel free to share any of my websites with them. My contact info is on the “About” page here.
And if they are interesting in having prints or calendars of any of the photos, they may get those buy clicking on the “Buy” page on this site.
Thanks so much!
~Dan

I think, mrphelps, that this is my new favourite blog 🙂
What a cracking idea! You have a great imagination. The Star Wars and Outdoor Activities are my favourites. I love the little shadows on No 264 and No 262 reminded my of a scene in Jurassic Park III!

July 17, 2011 at 1:41 pm
This was great project! Thank you so much for this!
Would it not be great to offer a day-to-day calendar with every photo from the just concluded project? I would be willing to pay for it.

work with you and say hello.
I an open to commissions or even just ideas! I hope all is well in

Hi Dan,
My name is Izaz from MyLegoland blog. Ive greatly enjoyed looking through your site and I was wondering if you’d be interested in exchanging links with my website, which has a related subject. Let me know if you interested. I’m looking forward for a favorable reply from you.
January 13, 2013 at 9:00 pm
Dan – I once suggested you have a facebook like button and then lo and behold a facebook like button appeared. Now I have another suggestion. You should add a ‘from the beginning button’. Then someone could click the button and start watching your photo blog posts from day one. Some us caught you from midway of your project. Some were with you from the beginning. But you have new followers now. Maybe you have this ‘retro’ click already but just curious where it is.
February 9, 2013 at 1:03 am
Do you have a twitter account where you link to all your posts? It’s my favorite way to keep up with blogs, but I can’t find a link for yours.
February 21, 2013 at 5:50 pm
Hello I have been following this blog for a long time and was wondering if you were going to keep it, and not disable it, I am a very big fan of your work and I hope you see this

Of course! I don’t post here anymore – it’s just a repository from my two year projects but it’s here for the browsing enjoyment!

Could I interview you for my site? I’ve been looking to start a series where I interview skilled people in the LEGO community. If you don’t want to, that’s fine. Thanks.
