It's WrestleMania Weekend, which means that it's time for me to pull out my box of toys and find a memento from years gone by. In this case, it is everyone's favourite rowdy Scotsman, Rowdy Roddy Piper. It seems appropriate to feature Hot Rod this year since one of the big WrestleMania matches features the latest to get the 'Rowdy' label, that being Rowdy Ronda Rousey. The original has a hard reputation to beat. From smashing a coconut over the head of Superfly Jimmy Snuka, to headlining the very first WrestleMania, Piper did everything there was to do in a ring, and still found the time to make a name for himself in Hollywood as well. For the photograph, I placed my figure on a white cardboard, which though beginning to show it's age, still works well as a background. I tried to find a classic Hot Rod pose to use, bounced some flash off of the ceiling and presto! The photograph was taken at f/18, 1/200sec, ISO 100 at 32mm. With that taken care of, it's time to break-up the popcorn and chips, because the show is about to begin.
