NOTE: This was reuploaded on 3/29/2017 after I realized that I had foolishly deleted the original image from Flickr when I accidentally turned on auto-upload on my phone and freaked out when I saw all my phone pictures on Flickr (although this really wasn't the case). This was unfortunately caught in the mass-deletion crossfire.
Northwest Washington, D.C. This residential entrance is rather unique and looks to be a rental as well. Washington is full of such gems. Taken a few years ago but I suspect it's still there, unchanged.
Some absolute nutjob villains people suggested I make:
Angle Man, Snowflame, Dogwelder, Mister Moth, and Earthworm
it's a plane ..
.. it's SUPERMAN !!

ill b uploading a comic/manga photo series .. xD
oh and the whole set is dedicated to orangeya
since she made me fall in love with them from the first place :D
Note: I should have placed this photo -- and all of the other ones that I'll be uploading on April 18-19, 2015 -- at the end of this album of Washington, DC photos (i.e., the ones that got uploaded first), because they were taken in 1946, long after my mother had gotten divorced, and moved (with me) from Florida back to her mother's house in Washington, DC.
In a few of the photos, you'll note that my mother has now met, and presumably begun dating, my stepfather Ray Yourdon. He was based in Washington at the end of his Navy enlistment; and when it was all over, they got married and the family moved to Denver in 1947 (which you'll find in a separate Flickr album covering the period of 1947-50).
******************************
Mom's note on this snapshot says, "The dishpan again". No specific date on this picture, so I've arbitrarily assigned the date of July 15th of 1946.
**********************************
All of the photos in this album are “originals” from the period when I was an infant in the mid-1940s — i.e., the period before I lived in Omaha, Riverside, Roswell, New York, Ft. Worth, and Denver (photos of which you may have seen already in my Flickr archives).
Before I get into the details, let me make a strong request — if you’re looking at these photos, and if you are getting any enjoyment at all of this brief look at some mundane Americana from 70+ years ago: find a similar episode in your own life, and write it down. Gather the pictures, clean them up, and upload them somewhere on the Internet where they can be found. Trust me: there will come a day when the only person on the planet who actually experienced those events is you. Your own memories may be fuzzy and incomplete; but they will be invaluable to your friends and family members, and to many generations of your descendants.
My own story changes dramatically at this point: the man I’ve presented as my Dad in previous Flickr albums, Ray Yourdon, was actually my stepfather. My birth parents grew up in Washington DC, married, and moved to Florida in the early days of World War II. My birth father worked as a flight instructor for the Air Force, and I was born on an Air Force base near Ft. Walton Beach, in the panhandle section of Florida (which you can read about here, if you’re interested: www.eglin.af.mil )
Some time after that, my parents divorced and my mother moved back to Washington with me, to live with her mother. After a bitter custody battle over me (so I’ve been told), I didn’t see my birth-father again until I was 30—at which point I was surprised to learn that I had three more half-sisters, in addition to the two I had grown up with (i.e., both my mother and my birth-father had remarried after they got divorced from each other). But that’s another story, with another set of photos ...
Meanwhile, my mother worked as a secretary in the Pentagon as the war wound down, and when my stepfather ended up in Washington toward the end of his tour of duty in the Navy, they met, and married, and moved to Denver to begin a new life … chapters of which you’ve been seeing in these Flickr albums during the last several weeks.
So the photos in this album are from my birth in Florida through the first year or so of my childhood in Washington — uploaded in reverse chronological order, starting in 1945. I haven’t written any details, because I have no conscious memory of what was happening at the time; and at this point, all of my parents, step-parents, and grandparents are gone. Yes, I do have five wonderful sisters, all of whom share various memories with me; but I’m the oldest of the brood, so I have no siblings with first-hand information about what I was doing for the first year or two of my life.
All I have are the photos that you see here. But they do tell a story, and that’s why I think it’s so important that you track down all of your own photos and preserve them somewhere for the generations who will follow after you.

Tell Me Your Thoughts.
Left to Right
Kyle Rayner: Gave him new hair
Anti Monitor: I have had this guy for a while- NEXO knights helmet, armor, torso, legs, Blue Beetle legs
Tomar Rey: I needed a third person for this barf so I scrambled trying to find a pair of black legs that were not on anyone. I finally found a custom king I made at build a mini a while ago and took the black legs off the guy in exchange for gray. Anyway- Chima head headpiece, Green Lantern torso, and black legs with a small dent in the foot >:(
Tell me your thoughts
Had to get a little dirty for this one. The tourists were looking at me like I was from another planet, while I was lying on the ground taking this shot. Did I mention the off-white khaki shorts?
DC-Tower Vienna #vienna #wien #donaucity #viennacalling #skyscraper #Verticallines #architecture #clouds #reflections #dctower #sfc_dresden
Again sorry for the hand but darn it my phone's camera won't focus. Anyways the figures are:
WW: I decided to give him a darker color scheme that still has green unlike his New 52 look.
Inertia: I like the torso 'cept for the purple. I also saw Gallishuchus use the hydra soldier head on him.
Mirror Master: Used Helmet to remake my Angle Man (I already posted him, my second or third post I think) so I gave him a new look that kinda reminds me of his JL Doom outfit.
Black Flash: Not sure if I should keep the red part on top or just have a plain helmet.
Enjoy the figs!
Great White Shark, Zsazz, Zodiac Master, and Black Spider. Also does anyone know how to fix cracked minifig torsos I've been noticing this a lot on my figs recently su ch as Batman, Zsazz, and Bane. There are cracks leading to the arm holes. Anyways hope you like these figs!
