I've done some digital archaeology, gathering doll pictures from old websites and external hard drives, and I've taken the decision of resurrecting this BlogSpot. I will gather all of my dolls' galleries and photo-stories in this one single place.
In 2009, two hobbies started piking my interest: dolls and photography. Dolls were my main escapism as I was a migrant. Photography helped me overcome all the overwhelming emotions that came with starting over, on my own, in a different country, which in this case was Canada.
I got a point and shot camera, but I still could apply what I was learning from a Facebook group called "Venezuelan photographers". This group had weekly challenges that touched on both technical and artistic aspects. It was a great community, from a time where social networks were still in its infancy. I met some good online friends that I still kinda keep on touch with.
While I got my first resin head in 2008, it was in 2009 where my doll collection really started. My first full doll was a Dream of Doll Lahoo. My sister also started collecting with me. There were so many companies, and so many lovelies to choose from... It was a whole new world for us. Most of the knowledge from that time came from a forum called "Den of Angels" which is still up and running. It was a very niche hobby and people all around the world were experimenting and finding things here and there, sharing their new discoveries.
Now with nostalgia mode full on, I present some of the experimental pictures I took and edited that magical year.
