A Very Stormie Autumn!

The Stormies have been taking a bit of a break recently, and have taken on some new recruits. Today they decided to head back into the studio to celebrate the change of seasons and the glorious wonder of Autumn.

New recruit Tompkins wasn't too impressed with his 'Autumn Fairy' costume though...

L O S T

Um, yeah. Star Wars goes all Dharma Initiative.

Location: The beach at Cramond (near the Swan Station, lol).

Note: To all those people that passed giving me strange looks - this is what i was doing with a big plastic plane and a grin on my face. Completely normal. ALL photographers do this. Honest!

Fan Mail

Everyone had their favourite Star Wars character. For some it was Han Solo, other wanted to be a Jedi like Luke Skywalker, others just wanted Princess Leia. For Private Willie though, he only had eyes for Vader.

Give The Little People A Voice

The Stormies take a stand and hold their own (small) protest on Glasgow's George Square.

Its not easy to get taken seriously when you're an inch and a half tall, apparently!

Give A Stormie A Home

I have decided to put a selection of my work up for sale on Red Bubble due to the response I've had from fans of my work. If you have seen something you like here on the bog, or on my main Flickr page, that I haven't yet uploaded to Red Bubble, then please let me know.

The images are available in all sorts of formats from greetings cards to mounted prints and posters, and can be ordered HERE.

Alternatively, UK buyers can order limited edition hand signed and mounted prints (limited to 25 prints) from me directly by emailing me at paulcookphotography@yahoo.co.uk. The first 3 prints ordered directly from me will also receive a numbered Lego Stormie that was used in the shoot including unique adoption papers. Something Madonna could only dream of!

Go on, give a Stormie a good home!

Deep Down, We All Want To Be Like Banksy

Yep, it was only a matter of time. Knowing my influences and stuff, it was just finding a way to put it all together...

The Monday Morning Commute

The Monday morning commute is always a drag. Even for a Stormie!

Location: Central Station, Glasgow.

Helpless

Location: Outside Buchanan Underground Station, Glasgow.

Sorry its been a while since the Stormies made an appearance. I have recently suffered a catastrophic hard-drive failure, as well as being busy with my exhibition/shows, so its been a little hectic!

Islands In The Stream

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah

Run Away! Run Away!

The garden isn't a safe place for the Stormies. Especially when the dreaded mower is about. Give us the Ewoks any day!

Little Troopers

"Oh, he's such a good baby. Sleeps right through the night too! But I'll tell you this for nothing, the creche facilities on this Death Star are rubbish! I'll be having a word with that nasty Emperor the next time i see him. Dont you worry!"

Note: I found the little pram (with toy bunny seen in another Stormie pic) at a car boot sale at the local primary school. To avoid trying to explain what a 35 year old guy wanted with a wee plastic pram, i asked my mum to go buy it for me. Best 5p i ever spent, lol

If You Go Down To The Woods Today...

You're in for a big surprise!

A Stormie tries to blend in, much to the confusion of the bears.

Market Day

It had been another bumper crop down at the Stormie Ranch, and they decided to enter 'Biggest Fruit/Veg' competition at the local market.

Notes: This picture came about after buying a pack of vine tomatoes in the reduced section of the local shop (just 10p!!!!). Anyway, I was challenged to see who could come up with the best shot using the tomatoes. This was my attempt!

Tourists

"Eh, I'm guessing you guys aren't from round these parts? Anyway, you'll love Glasgow you'll fit in well. The place is full of loons! Just watch out for the pigeons!"

The Stormies get some tourist tips from a Council worker in Glasgow's George Square.

Note: Shot in the early afternoon in George Square, Glasgow. This is right in the heart of the city centre and normally teaming with passing shoppers and workers. It Was actually busier than it looks from the shots, but attracted (thankfully) very little attention!

The Search

"Oh, come on, Private Cooper! You've been at this for over an hour and you've still not found anything. Are you sure this is where you lost the plans for the Death Star?"

Concern...

"I'm getting a little concerned about Private Wallace. Have you noticed how skinny he's become lately?"
