I'm sorry the scenario is always that table, but I don't know where else to put them. I just wanted to share some PJ party pictures and the "pets" of the house!

[Gallery] Experimental pictures from 2009 (Part 2)

As I was starting in the hobby, I had to make the most out of the few clothing and props I owned. I had no furniture. I think this constraint pushed me to be more creative with my takes. I had to have an idea in my head before starting a photoshoot, and then give the final touches later on in Photoshop.

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.

[Gallery] Was it worth it?

I've abandoned this poor blog for years, so I've decided to update it. I'm gonna start with these pictures from April 8th, 2014.

So I wanted to take mud pics of this doll and today was the perfect day as it rained (don't worry, mud doesn't stain resin!) I came from work and had about one hour of light left. I went to this little park, covered Marko in mud and water, and I'm about to take the perfect picture when I realized I had no battery in my camera! I had to come back and once I got to the same spot, a man and his daughter came by collecting hockey discs that people left in winter... They started a conversation with me regarding the doll and inside I was like "I have no time!!!". "You never know what sort of things you find this season... Even a doll! Is that a barbie?" Anyway. The sun was setting but I was able to take some nice pics. They're sort of repetitive but I hope you like them.

Coltrane: "Yes, I do. I still don't understand the titbits of time travel, but I'm here right now anyway."
