I'm sure this is off topic, but I couldn't find anything in the FAQ's, and there doesn't seem to be a good place to ask this question. Anyways - how do people take pictures of their creations.

I agree on the race issue, however Lego has made some "people" of different ethnicities. There's a "black" duplo guy. I've also seen, on more than one occasion, a "large minifig" built out of regular Lego bricks, by Lego employees, that was "black." (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)
