Washington, DC, Northwest.
Here is evidence of Washington DC's commitment to preserving its architectural heritage. One of the tools they use is to preserve the facades of old buildings in all areas of the city while allowing reconstruction of the interiors.
I took my son down to a sleep-away camp in Washington, DC. I spent 5 hours on the bus down, 5 hours walking around in the blistering heat, and then 5 hours on the bus back to NY. It was a long day.
Walking into the train/bus station, I passed this fellow, and I knew that with his cool look and this fabulous backdrop, I had to get a portrait. His name is Daryl, who was at the station to take the bus back home to Baltimore. He was very kind and cooperative. I took a whole bunch of shots, because the light was actually kind of challenging to work with. This one was rather underexposed SOOC, but I was able to fix it up in LR quite nicely.
By the way, I finally transitioned to LR4 (not 5!)...I'm always way behind the times when it comes to software...but I prefer it that way, as there are usually fewer bugs to deal with.

Random bunch of figures here.
Slipknot - I'm sure people have used a similar design to this, but this did come from my own head.
Bizarro - Really happy with him. Idea of using the Zan figure came from Superior Idiot, head is bootleg.
The Ray - Pretty much his usual design, but I'm pleased with it. The helmet is a bootleg Nova one.
Effigy - Obscure Green Lantern villain. His design is pretty basic so I just used a random Iron Man suit.
All of these figs were suggested to me by TheArtOfLego.
From L to R:
Psycho Pirate: I unfortunately was unable to find the correct legs for him with the red leg on the right. I’m also not overly happy with the helmet but I didn’t really have any other options.
Cheshire: I was trying to decide between this torso for her and Tauriel’s torso from the Hobbit. I decided this one because I felt the other one was too brown.
Anarky: Probably my favorite from this lineup. I was gonna use the legs from the Master of Dragons from Ninjago but I found these and just couldn’t bring myself not to use them.
Arkham Knight: Definitely the hardest out of these. I ended up going for an all black look. Let me know if you think it works. Because I might try remaking him.
I've got a ton of stuff saved up, so I'm basically just gonna be spam-posting for the next week or so to get everything out there. Some stuff is already out-of-date.
Lashina: Had Duchess, so figured I may as well make her better known costume. Aurra Sing hair, modified Bat Lord helmet, Hermione head, Savage Oppress armor, Kryptonian torso/legs.
Cyborg Superman: Inspired mostly by Jonathan. Ninjago hair/helmet, Star Wars head, Superman torso, Power Miners leg.
Black Mask: Just wanted to try the Bruce Wayne suit and tie on him before it went to The Roman forever.
Desaad: Young Boba Fett head, Wacky Witch torso.
Static Shock: Gave him Lightning Lad's torso/legs.
More to come, let me know what you think!
Gotta do an in-between post today - and today it's some random magic users. Enjoy.
Left to right:
Shazam (The Wizard), Klarion the Witch Boy, Brother Blood, Doctor Occult, and Circe
so it appears my 1 year on Flickr is coming in about 21 days, and i have around 17 more followers to go until i hit 300, so i'm hoping to reach that point by then, if i can i'd love to do some facts about myself and maybe a contest?
also does anyone know the color or where i can buy some original Jango Fett legs and arms? i have everything but those and i'd like to complete him
L to R:
Captain lance: tonight this hair would look good and i found this face which i think mirrors the look of the character well, don't care to much for the torso though.
Anarky: i really liked Killer Moths Anarky that he posted today so i scrapped my own and made this guy using that MM supergirl cape.
Alan Scott: added these boots from el Dorado and the cape piece from the Wonder Twins, probably my ultimate Alan Scott figure.
I took this photo so long ago that my Ravager and Huntress have been significantly updated since - one for the better, and one for the worse. Ravager's sporting the 2012 Thor torso since Mr. Mxyzptlk has my second Hobgoblin torso, and Huntress was just using up way too many parts from other figs in my collection - though I have tracked down a new torso on BL that might work even better than this current combo.
Credit to Sachin Chata for this amazing Ravager torso idea! This isn't the first time he inspired me to create a figure I hadn't even thought of before, so go check him out. Credit to HMDBrickCustoms for being the first to post this particular Huntress combo on Flickr! Give him a follow to see a very prolific photostream full of DC and Marvel purist characters.
Fig formulas:
Ravager: SW Rebels Sabine head, Storm hair, Hobgoblin torso, Deathstroke legs
Deathstroke (unmasked): Count Dooku hair and head, Ninjago armor, Deathstroke base figure
Batman: N52 Batman legs, Beware the Bat base figure
Huntress: S10 Warrior Woman CMF hair, 1966 Catwoman head, 2012 Catwoman torso, Nindroid Warrior hips, Beast Boy legs
DC Figures #44
From L to R
Sewer King: I got new hair and torso.
Gillian Loeb: The CMF Barbera Gordon torso and arms look good for him.
Atom: I tried to use the classic colours in a more modern and practical suit.
Scarecrow: I got the Season 13 CMF scarecrow figure and thought the hat worked well for him.
What do you think?

Guess which set I got? Anyways here is some more DC figs.
L-R:
Shazam: I'd like to create some of his villains now such as Sivana, Captain Nazi, Mr Mind, Black Adam, etc.
Riddler Goon/???: Some random Riddler goon or maybe some alternate version of Riddler.
Riddler: Pretty happy how this turned out.
Planet Master: Now using black legs and the new Batman head.
Enjoy the figs!
Spoiler- I think I am finally satisfied with her. I trimmed up her cape and gave her an electrical tape mask
Nightwing- the official fig from the new movie
Amazo- I really like him, eventually I will get him green vambraces or green electrical tape to wrap around his arms, he is also obviously taller due to the green 1x1 plates at the bottom of his legs
Took it everyday to go into DC. I'd ride in with my son. He was going to work and I was doing the museums and archives. I thought it was efficient. He hates it!
I just realized I've never numbered these. Huh. Ah well, moving on.
Vigilante: This guy was too simple not to make at some point. Lone Ranger hat, Bruce Wayne head, Clone Wars torso, CMF Baseball player legs.
Adam Strange: CMF Vintage space guy, White air tanks, epaulets, reversed Pirates torso, CMF Fast food kid arms, CMF Roman soldier legs.
Animal Man: 100% stolen from Numbuh1Nerd.
Fisherman: Aka the best Aquaman villain. Dwarf helmet, PoP head, Zurg torso, Mr. Freeze legs.
Ragdoll: Tried to achieve a look closer to his Secret SIx incarnation. I don't think it's worked yet. Painted hair, CMF mime head, CMF Sad clown torso, recolored CMF KIng collar, CMF Judge robe with front cut off, CMF Lady boxer hips, Eraser arms, Orca legs.
Grifter: Like Vigilante, he was just too easy not to make.

he suite with the Librarian's Room is located at the east end of the Great Hall's north corridor or alcove. Now used as the "Librarian's Ceremonial Office," one of its two entrance doors is to the left of a gold-engraved marble wall panel with the names of the Librarians of Congress, from John Beckley, who served from 1802 to 1807, to the present Librarian, Carla Hayden.
The suite is divided into two areas by a broad, open arch. On one side is the low-ceilinged secretary's office, a full bathroom, and a gallery above. This photograph, taken from the gallery or balcony, is a view into the Librarian's office area. Kings, queens, presidents, and other heads of state have visited the Library and viewed treasures from the Library's collections in the privacy of this room. (Source: Library of Congress)
Deathstroke's arms are navy blue and his legs are form a GCPD officer and are dual blue and black molded.
Egg Head has boots and dual molded arms.
Hatter's pretty simple.
Fiddler has s guitar because it is the closest thing Lego has to a fiddle.
I might slow down and upload once a day or every other day because I've posted like 5 pics in two days. I just love showing my Figs. Also The Ten-Eyed Man your profile picture inspired me to make that last post and the fig! He's one of the weirder Batman C-listers. Anyways, enjoy the figs!
(Last pic of the night)
Deathstroke- added some custom vambraces, a sword I think from brick forge and the gamers arms
Rick flag Jr- new vest from brick mania
Deadshot- looks excellent with a new sniper rifle and brick arms vest
Robin- simply added a tlbm belt
Alfred- got the 2017 fig finally, and also found the 2006 Alfred torso, so I mixed em together and also added tlbm Gordon hair
Commissioner Gordon- same fig just with the Gary oldman head from Holden
Built in 1986, the Friendship Archway is one of the largest Chinese ceremonial gateways in the world. Its vivid colors and intricate details honor cultural heritage while framing the daily life of Chinatown below.

So I threw these together and updated my Booster way back when Jonathan posted his. I didn't wanna post it though until after I had shown off the New 52 Deadshot, whom the Deadshot helmet design I've been employing was intended for, BUT I didn't wanna post that Deadshot till I had finished King Shark and lord knows that took a while.
Anyways, story time's over.
Deadshot. As he appears in Bulletproof: Super-Adaptoid helmet w/ my trademark scope (I have two of these now), Tony Stark head, Knight's Kingdom armor, CMF Devil Kid torso, Alien Conquest legs, Scarlet Spider arms, CMF Climber legs.
Atomic Skull: Bellville head, Kryptonian armor, March Harriet arms, reversed Mandarin torso, CMF Dino Hunter legs.
Red Arrow: Indiana Jones head, Ninjago mask/torso, Galaxy Patrol legs.
