i'll start this thread, whose genesis came from chris crawford's wonderful doll reading thread.

Macarbe!

Someone ate the heads of all my Barbie dolls. He promised to give them back in a day or so.

ducky, love the signature. that comes from one of the best film soliloquys ever done. i think it is an apt motto for photopgraphy ...

Awesome photos! I've seen some of Bruce's doll photos, he has some other great ones too that he also found in an abandoned house.

CapitalK, the horse is cool, what happened to the rest of the carousel?

Paulfish, The one of the doll standing in the box on the tree is my favorite of the ones you showed, though the one with the fish is nice too. That one reminds me of scenes I remember from when I used to go fishing with my grandpa.

Dolls always scare me - and this thread is not doing anything to make it better 🙂

Not sure, it was on the ground while I was walking around waiting for a ferry. There was a garage/workshop off-camera so I'm sure it was being restored.

Kully and Malo, Very cool new photos! Thanks for adding them. I need to scan more of my doll photos. I have 14 rolls of film waiting to be edited and scanned now. My schoolwork is taking most of my free time, so I shoot new stuff and develop the film so I can scan it this summer after classes end. My doll project is going to have A LOT more added to it soon.

kully, that one is creepy, indeed. and malo: a couple of the dolls in your photo clearly are malevolent, just waiting for nightfall ...
