Title: Best "come to life" GI Joe toy picture
Post by: martin-montreal on April 29, 2011, 09:54:52 PM
I'm sad because the Montreal Canadien lost the final game against Boston, but I am even more sad for not to be the guy behind this picture:

He is Cradea2 and he takes some incredible shot! I'm always impressed when I see people with talent like that!

Please, share your pictures of your GI Joe/Cobra into action!

You know, that AVAC on the third picture is going to DIE because he's decided that he didn't want to wear the parachute that he came with   ::)

Not in the comic book, not in the comic book. Cobras and Joes can die like flies...

EDIT: Hehe, for some reason, that last pic of Avac surviving didn't refresh on my screen...

Actually, that first shot is from a joe photo artist named Outrider (aka cradea2, for Craig and Deanne). You can see his work here http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/search. ... chid=56161 (http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/search.php?do=searchresults&searchid=56161) Tragically, we lost Outrider last May to bowel cancer, and I just went through the site to remember. That's the best link I can find of his work. Outrider was a photo pioneer and much beloved member of the JoeDios family. Didn't know him well, myself, but he serves as the Gold Standard of Joe Photography to many. Hope that fellow Dio members don't mind me posting this here.

I don't recall seeing his work before, though i suspect I have.
His loss is even more profound when I say that his artistry is exceptional. He's taken some items that were so-so and made them cool, all by mere camera angles.
His photo of the Night adder is an excellent example--heck, all of his aircraft shots are fantastic.

I didn't know that. And knowing it now made me look at his album again. If you guys don't mind, I will share few more incredible shots:

Craig was the best photographer on Joe Dios, he was the most active member and was very gracious to everyone, offering feedback, encouragement to almost every photo that was posted. He was a true artist, and a true gentleman. I have actually lost alot of my motivation to do pics since he died, I'm coming around though, he is still missed. RIP Outrider.
