 This was actually a half photo :) I took my son on the park, he had a sword and shield, and I was going to photograph him in front of the castle, with an armour made of toilet paper. In the end, he became shy and didn't want to take (hey, can't really blame him :)

The dragon was just to make him happy, it was not to be in the photo. In fact, this photo was just to test the camera settings, it was not planned, so it was a last minute resource.

Lessons learned:
Never try to mount a castle of toilet paper without planning, any wisp of wind will make it tumble (over, and over, and over again.....)
Make sure you bring candy to a photoshoot with kids, you can always bribe them if they don't wan't to take a picture :-P

And now, I'll try and give away my 144 rolls of paper...

Ha! This is delightful! And what a fun tale to tell of your photoshoot. That in itself was worth the effort. Thanks for sharing this!

I'll bet you got quite a few odd looks while building this. Not unlike when I was by the lakeside putting on a caveman costume.
