The Return of the Doll Project

There was still so much I wanted to do with The Doll Project, so much I wanted to say, so many dolls I bought on eBay to photograph but never did.  There were so many photos I did take that just did not work out.  Maybe I was waiting until everything was perfect, waiting for the perfect camera, the perfect dolls, the perfect setup and lighting.  Eventually I decided to stop waiting and start taking pictures again.  Here are a few recent ones that I'd like to share.

The new photos show the issue of body image and eating disorders in a historical context.  I have a lot I'd like to say about it and I am thinking of what I will write about it.  Look for it in a future post.  Until then, here are my new photos.

You can see more photos from The Doll Project on Flickr, and read about it here on my blog. I hope to shoot more photos for it again soon. Hopefully it won't take me as long this time.

Excellent!
Have you yet to make them into a holiday card?

There is a shop on etsy who does a whole Ken and Barbie stage set, and Christmas cards are the biggest sell.
Very cheeky.
Cheers!
