Keep going back through the archives. I love this stuff. Be sure to go through the two galleries that are linked on the top left side. Best stuff.

Stanley, I like the water one the most.

It is impossible to judge your entire project until it is finished, and so until then people will pass comment on the 4 photos you have posted up. In and of themselves they have been done before. I still like them though. Just like I still like pictures of kittens and sunsets and macros Once your project is finished we will be in a better position to judge it for its worth.

Have you burnt the baby?

I like the fire one. It's a bit Apocalypse Now. All in all, it's probably cliché on its own but as a set it's quite interesting. All about novel locations & scenes I think as that's where you get to use creativity.

Thank you. I'm simply trying to show the evolution of the project. Of course abandoned baby dolls have been photographed before.

1. Observe people's reactions to me photographing the doll in various situations and environmental contexts.

2. Print off a set of 40 posters and display them in the place where the original photograph was taken. Video peoples reactions (if indeed anyone at all stops to look) to the photographs.

3. Complete a large oil painting based on everything I've observed. The painting will be photographed in a time lapse style.

4. Put the whole process onto a finished video.

5. Exhibit final oil painting in the street whilst projecting the video telling the story behind the painting onto a white washed wall. With suitable music

Why can't you just give this sort of superior fucking pigswill a rest, Stanley?

OK. I'll try, but I can't promise.

I'm an expressive artist you know. It's a common trait amongst artists to be self-obsessed, arrogant, out spoken, abusive twats. I sometimes like to exploit the stereotype

"Burn baby burn! Disco inferno! Burn baby burn! Burn that mother down!"

"Burn baby burn! Disco inferno! Burn baby burn! Burn that mother down!"

Think I already have a tune in mind. Won't really know until the painting is completed.

i quite like the dolls and the novelletta you are developing around it. I didnt think you were just going to present the dolls either, although in their current guises i find them quite humourous.

It occurred to me that using the elements is a nice theme - a theme you could use with titles. There could be comical ones like 'water gate' for the baby in the water or even something as silly/ ironic as 'water baby.' As far as others quick to judge observations are here, it was certainly established to me somehow that you were going to develop the idea further. People lacking in imagination cant see this sadly, and will jump to really elementary conclusions like 'thats been done before' duh.

They're fun.

There was a French (I think) guy who posted a link to his website on the BJP forum a few moths back. Excellent miniature photography using spent/burnt matches as burned out stick people. Using a shift lens and very shallow DoF to create an illusion of scale. If I could remember his name I'd Google.
