Title: Hello my name is Alexander but you can call me Ackie.
Post by: Ackie on October 25, 2019, 10:51:39
Hello my name is Alexander but my family  and close friends  call me Ackie. The nickname "Ackie" began when a friend of my mum's visited me in hospital and her young son could not say "Alexander", he pronounced it "Ackixander". I live in Edinburgh (Scotland). I started to pick up Playmobil sets that I liked the look of in 2013. My big brother was a huge fan and I often played with his sets, so I would say I started when I was three or  four years old, therefore twenty-six years ago. My Playmobil sets are still boxed. When my mobility improves I am planning to use my Playmobil sets to photograph scenes in the real human world outside. (I’ve just had a new hip fitted.) For example Photographing a Playmobil cyclist cycling through a woodland ground. I also love telling stories through  pictures. I  take photographs and then add the storyline. This I already do with my Action Man figures.I have been doing this sort of work, taking pictures and creating stories, for the last twelve years. At present I don’t have a particular Playmobil area of interest. I buy Playmobil sets that I like the look of.

Welcome from Stroud, Ackie! My wife called her aunt Jenny because she couldn't say Iris. 8}

It's great to have another Scotch* member. Looking forward to seeing your photo creations when you are in a position to do some!

*I know this adjective should only be applied to whisky and mist, but I love winding up my brother  >:D (who is English by birth, like me, but has lived in Scotland for many years) by using it for anything Scottish!

I hope you like humour? Its one of the great things about PF!
