Meh, it's the only having 80 which I dislike. Still eBay seems to be pretty good to me (got a few Joes, and new HISS arriving soon. My second MAGOT (with two Worms) arrived last week). At this rate it'd take me many many years to build up a sizable army.
And thanks guys.

If you think that's bad you should see my painting table - it's a six seater dining table covered with stuff. You can see it in my 2004 X-Mass special in episode 3 I think, but that was when my brother was moving out so it's neater now - but not much.

What kind of tools and such do you incorporate into your photography?
When I first started, I did everything outside. My first dio was really long but at the same time, it was one huge learning process. By the end, I was close to where I was at a few months ago. Due to weather and the garden not growing and being too shy to go out on location to shoot, I've started making sets. Cheap sets but I'm still learning. If my latest set works out, it should look really cool. If not, well, back to the drawing board.

Do you create actual effects in the real world? Or maybe Photoshop is your forte?
I tend to learn toward the cartoony w/ effects. Pre-made goofy explosions and laser blasts. I use a combination of Photostudio and PictureIt. I don't have Photoshop.

Do you consider yourself an amateur (maybe semi-pro or pro) photographer or do you only pick up the camera to create your Dio-stories?
I believe if I actually practiced and learned my camera, I'd be better. I just learned how to work the MACRO setting a few months ago. I'm learning about lighting and basic composition.

What's the strangest (or Hardest) thing you've ever done to capture a perfect shot?
*shrug* I'm still trying to get there with the 'perfect' shot.
