Description This a photo I took of a doll that my sis used to have. I was kinda fascinated with the doll. She was about 2 feet tall. I don't know her name...

I took her with me on a photo shoot or two. She was a good model. She didn't ask for beer or chips or drugs or anything. She wouldn't sign the model release though. She was also, how do I say this? ... A lot of girls think that just because you are photographing them, they expect things, favors, you know... naughty stuff, maybe a little of this and that. You know what I am talking about. She wasn't like that at all. She actually liked me for me and not my body. She didn't look at me like a piece of meat. I admire her for that. I really do. It gripes me that just because I am doing a shoot they sometimes expect to just jump in bed. I mean, come on!

Anyway, we got on quite well. I would make suggestions, she just did it without a word. And she was the best listener. She never questioned why we went to the graveyard for a shoot. She never questioned anything I said. She was such a cool doll. She listened better than anyone I have ever known. I don’t know what’s become of her... She moved on. I understand that, I do.

It’s alright. I’ll be okay *sniff, sniff*

Okay, so I have an imagination and a sense of humor.... Maybe I am too easily amused!! Anyway! This is the source photo I painted the watercolor from. (My photo)

Taken with 35mm film camera. Canon ae1. Print size is 8"x10" on B&W RC paper.

I like the lighting, it dramatizes the image well giving it a dark macrbe feel. I like it.

Thanks very much... Ya, the lighting was key... I had other photos where the light was different, and not so dramatic... They were not as tasty.

A lot of people say that! There is a new horror movie coming out about puppets, can't remember the name. Puppet Clowns are scarier to me, than dolls...

I LOVE this photo... it says so much... when I was 16, I wrote a poem called "China Doll"... it was a personification of a doll (much like you did)... I'll share it with you if you like... just tell me how, where and when.... it reminds me of that poem, and the "look" on this doll's face... well, all you're missing is a teardrop.

I LOVE the watercolor you did of it also...

*beams at duck... and sits*

Yeah, can't really figure out why. Cute little things. They just look too much like people except with big dead eyes.

That or... [link]

You are lucky, Charlotte complains so much when we have photoshoots, she's always kicking her legs at me >.<
