Fun With Photography

[taylorRichie]

Yup, that would be Linda, but don't worry, I'm horrid with names myself...

... LOL, you must have followed some of my LJ links to her journal. They are commonly known as Asian Ball Jointed dolls and they are amazing, like you said. She has painted some, and had some painted by "face-up" artists. They all started in Japan and now are made in Korea and China as well. There is a huge "cult" of people who collect these dolls, dress them, do photo shoots, meet-ups, conventions, etc. It's a little nerdy, yeah, but whatever, it's fun.

She prefers I call her Lisa

I am absolutely horrible with names, and I tell people up front that I probably won't remember their name. I guess my brain is too full of useless information to remember names.

I think those Ball Jointed dolls are awesome... (not that I play with dolls) but wow...

Anyway, Does she sell? Collect? or just take pictures of the same doll in different outfits/settings etc.? Tell her props!

This is what it reminded me of

Sorry to derail the thread

Might have to have her bring something to Moab.

Can you explain to me what Lisa does with the dolls? Where they come from, does she paint them, create the outfits? etc.? Or can you buy these dolls off the shelf?? I'm confused.

They're pretty awesome! Some of the images remind me very much of the art of Mark Ryden. Let her know I'm very impressed. (both with the photography, and the dolls themselves) They almost look like high polygon 3D models in the photographs.

"Is your uh, is your wife interested in... photography, ay? 'Photographs, ay', he asked him knowingly?"

Squire:
"Photography?"

Man:
"Snap snap, grin grin, wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more?"

WAY too funny...I know, I'm from the "Ministry of silly walks".

You are scaring me, Dub...

Sorry Bra...no be scared.

I've gotten in the habit of "over posting" while I wind down from my swell new night job with a few Jack & Cokes...& whatnot...
Trying to get the ends to come together by cleaning up after cubicle swine...& PLEASE, nobody here, that resides in a cubicle during the day, be offended...I think there must be a special sub-species in Fargo, no offence to any of my VX bros & seestahs...
I'll try to behave myself...
But whatever you do, don't press me for details.

NOW...back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Here is my home away from home, and where 99% of the 4,440 Posts have come from. It is a mess, yes, but I tell ya, I have seen much, much worse. Rotting food, boxes of shoes, foul odors, 3 year old dried up coffee spills, Sticky Note hell, you name it.

Cubicle Swine, I like that, has a nice ring. That would make a great user name on here. Moncha, can you change "nfpgasmask" to "cubicle_swine" please?

I agree. They are actually pretty damn cool looking. AND anatomically correct! :_drool:

Not much selling. Collect? I guess a little, she has 10 or so. Mark Ryden is awesome, indeed.

Unfortunately, probably not going to Moab this year, but we still need to arrange another Elko camping trip.

Ahhh, that's what Steve was reffering to? I was like, huh? It's been years since I watched any Monty Python...

I'm just glad somebody got it...

That's from Faulty Towers, right? Or was it from one of the movies? I can't remember...been a long time.
