It surprises me how many people like taking pictures of their ponies. I prefer to admire them "in person". It's not like they are alive and do anything special like a child does for example. To me it just seems pointless to take picfures of ponies. The only time I take pictures of ponies is when I put them up for sale or use one as a profile picture or a brag. I believe I only have a few "random" pictures of ponies.
Photos are so much fun. For me doing a photo shoot is like playing. Find/make the scene, mess around with 'scenarios' and take lots of pictures, and playing with filters. I really need to re-upload some of my pony photos!
No, I don't play with my ponies in the real sense. I like to take photo's of my new ponies when they arrive all dirty and messed up, and then while they are having their spa day. Then another after their spa day. I just love choosing them new ribbons from my ribbon box. All ponies of all gens get ribbons in my house. I will pull out a random selection of ponies every so often and give them a spa day just because. Yes, I am looking at you Star Catcher.

Wish they had fancy camera smartphones way back then, I could have taken tons of photos of her exploring.Ive found myself often doing that with Baby Lilly Drop. It’s so fun to stick her somewhere unexpected. Ponyfan

Sometimes I like to rearrange my pony collection and make up which ponies are related to each other, or dating or friends. Masquerade and Skydancer are currently next to each other on my bookshelf, I think they're sisters. Sometimes I like imagine what their personalities might be based on their pose - Milky Way with her upward tilted head seems kind of smug, but in a playful and not mean way, and Pink dreams is graceful and shy, for instance. Sometimes I put them in my dream castle, or smooth out their hair. Recently I stuck a bunch of battery operated votives in my Dream Castle and arranged appropriately celestial themed ponies inside it, then took pictures in the dark. Other than that, though, playing pretend with ponies is a thing of the past for me. Which is fine! I like them just fine as bright room decor that's nostalgic and cute.visitors can't see pics , please register or login
