New addition to the desk

6 years 7 months ago #544645 by Alex
I decided I wanted to get a photo of my son done in one of those acrylic blocks, something that would look good on my desk.  I've seen some poorly finished acrylic blocks in the past, so wanted to make sure I found someone that could do a great job.  After reading a zillion enthusiastic reviews (ok, not that many, but they have something like 2000 of them!) for a company called BumbleJax, I decided to give them a shot.  

I ordered a 1" thick 6x8 acrylic block and went for the metallic paper upgrade.  So it arrived yesterday and I have to say this looks awesome and definitely was the right look I was after.  What's funny, is when my wife saw it, she tried taking it for her office!  LOL I'm going to pick a different photo of our son and surprise her with one for Christmas.

Anyway, I just ordered another acrylic block, this time using one of my landscape shots, and going a little bit bigger.  Should be here next week.  I'll post up photos of that one when it comes.  

Here's their website:  www.bumblejax.com   They have some cools stuff.  

Here are the photos, let me know what you think:

Model: ILCE-6300
Lens: 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary 016
ISO: 800

@#$#$  how wide is your monitor?  

That photo looks to be the perfect size.  Will that scratch easy?  If so, can your buff it shiny again?

:thumbsup:  we send out acrylic blocks of our kids to the family members each Christmas .  The company we have been using delivered slow last 2 years.  How long did it take for you to get this from time you ordered?

I'll say your desk is a lot cleaner than mine is at the moment!  

Photo looks great Alex.  Do you happen to know if that will fade if left in direct sunlight?

Looks good. First thing I think of when I see it, is how did they get into Neyland Stadium with a tricycle, then I remember you are in California and the checkerboard is there somewhere. Nice desk. I can barely see mine.

Awwwww, he has grown so much.  I remember some of your earlier photos when he was just a baby.  Nice touch, can't wait to see the landscape shot you went with.  When that stands on your desk, how stable is that?
