Ten years ago today, I uploaded my first MOC.
After weeks of sorting and cleaning my old LEGO collection, after countless hours of getting to know to the new parts that had emerged during my dark ages, after days of trying and failing to build something that looked remotely like the Time Machine from the 2002 movie, after finally being satisfied with the result, after my first timid Bricklink order, after dozens of photos and after I comprehended the complicated process of dealing with MOCpages , yes, after all that, I uploaded my first MOC and … nothing happened.
For 2 whole days.
Then, oh glory, I received my first comment (thank you so much, McVitie 15). Somebody actually had a look at my MOC and even wrote something (I’ve only read the book, but this is the sort of thing I’d imagine it to look like.)
It took the whole, hot summer of 2010, a lot of stamina and willpower, to keep building. I dreamed of huge MOCs that I was going to build, of how to be blogged one day by the almighty The Brothers Brick and of how to be noticed by the great ones, like Nannan Zhang , Mark Kelso or Mark Stafford .
Please don’t be mad at me for not naming more or even all of them, because there are far, far too many people in this fantastic community that motivated and inspired me, that I met online and in real life, and some of them became good friends over the decade.
Thanks so much to all of you. I don’t know where I’d be today without you and this incredible hobby.
To give something back to the community, I created instructions for the little vignette that I uploaded for the ‘Hobbit Day’.
You can download them for free HERE (ca. 10 MB)
Have fun with them and be creative.
And thanks to everybody for 10 amazing years.
Congratulations to our weekly winners!

October 10th 2010....this is not what I had planned...but planning seldom turns out the way you want...trying to do a picture before you leave for Church with 2 teenagers a rabbit and trying to get the clock at 10:10 and have the one daughter holding the rabbit..the other trying to hold a pumpkin and the sign that says 10-10-10..and then trying to get the clock in to show that you were doing it AT 10:10....daughter holding the sign and pumpkin says " it 's a good thing you dont do this for a living, because you are too crabby when people dont do what you want!!!" needless to say...that was the end of that!!!!
So...this may not have been my first choice...but no one got mad at me and I didnt get mad at the beachglass!!!!! LOL OH!!!! and one more VERY important thing....my camera does NOT do good indoor shots and the flash is BAD....I sure hope I get that camera for my birthday!!!!!!!
The Flooded Bowling Alley
Don't forget to check out the video, take a look for the full walkthrough of this large space!!
Pins, bowling ball and a shoe inside an abandoned bowling alley!!
With 16 bowling lanes (half 10 pin and the other half 5 pin), 10 pool tables and 4 snooker tables, this large entertainment venue would have been a happening place! The venue also had smaller rooms with cartoons painted on the walls, as well as type that said Happy Birthday, these rooms would have been used for kids' birthday parties and bowling alleys were a popular place for that back in the 80s and 90s. As tastes evolved with the times, bowling alleys began to fall out of favour with many kids and teens, so to try and stay relevant these bowling venues had to adapt. They started adding black lights and began to offer glow in the dark bowling as a way to entice people to start enjoying the sport once again, some venues even added disco balls as well as coloured lighting and others took things even further. Bowling alleys are still around today but I imagine a lot of them are struggling, especially with what has been happening in the world lately.
At some point in 2013 this bowling alley and pool hall suffered a devastating flood that completely destroyed the lanes. As we explored this location the water damage was evident in the form of black mold, heaving lanes as well as some of the lanes completely rotting out altogether. The power was still on at this location and the sound of a sump pump running constantly fills the building with noise. Hope you enjoy this location as much as I did!!
What do you think about bowling alleys, did you ever play as kids, do you still play? What do you think about glow in the dark bowling, do you like it or think it is too gimmicky? Let me know down in the comments below!!

THE IMAGE:
In the middle of the night (while leading a tour) I felt compelled to leave the hotel and jet out to Bandon Beach to be all alone amongst the roaring ocean and vastness of its expanse. I decided to set the camera up on a tripod and shoot a 10-minute exposure as I walked around in the dark (in the scene) in total awe of the inexpressible power that surrounded me.
I know the extreme minimalism may not work for some but when I came across this on my computer today I felt the urge to do something drastically different.
Besides the usual color/hue/etc editing this is done all in camera no photoshop. 3.2 Second exposure.
Einstein at 2.5 Ws camera left a little above me and in front me, mostly on the side, in octa, triggered using cyber commander on camera and cyber syncs in Einstein.
Two led banks camera right one red one blue.
Find myself is every time more difficoult.
