The Doll Project is a series of conceptual digital photographs that uses fashion dolls to embody the negative messages the media gives to young girls. Though it would not be fair to blame it all on Barbie, there have been many instances in which she has come dangerously close. I chose to use Barbie dolls because they are miniature mannequins, emblems of the fashion world writ small, a representation of our culture's impossible standards of beauty scaled to one sixth actual size. The little pink scale and How To Lose Weight book are both real Barbie accessories from the 1960s. They are recurring motifs in the pictures in the series, symbolizing the ongoing dissatisfaction many girls and women feel about their weight and body image. The dolls' names, Ana and Mia, are taken from internet neologisms coined by anorexic and bulimic girls who have formed online communities with the unfortunate purpose of encouraging each other in their disordered eating. With each passing era, Ana and Mia are younger and younger, and the physical ideal to which they aspire becomes more unattainable. They internalize the unrealistic expectations of a society that digitally manipulates images of women in fashion and beauty advertisements and value their own bodies only as objects for others to look at and desire.

Okay, so I cropped the bus photo so it'd fit an 8x10 print, and I really dig how the RSA Tower is disappearing into the fog on the left. Just for shits and grins, I'm going to see how this prints from the scan before I take the negative down to the lab and have it done the right way.
I also darkened it and jacked the contrast up a bit in Photoshop.
This is my new "favorite photo I've ever taken" for the time being, and it's the clincher for wanting to get back into black and white film photography; something I've been seriously mulling over the past several weeks.
Cereal rye cover crops on Lynn Betts farm in Guthrie County. The cereal rye was flown on in the fall.
NOTE: a good stand is key to holding soil and preventing erosion. A good stand is a function of seeding method, seeding rate, and good quality seed (certified seed with a high germination percentage). In the event of a poor cover crop stand, erosion can occur.

I chopped all of my hair off on Tuesday (It was past shoulder length) I can't begin to tell you how much prettier and liberated I feel with it so super short. I will admit that I've been mistaken for a boy twice now from the back since I was wearing my chucks and a tee, but it hasn't even bothered me.. I feel B-E-A-U-tiful <3

Cropped version of previous image. I probably should have edited the red flare out in this verison whereas I think it added to the original.
Not every photo idea works out. So I thought I'd try to crop the original to salvage it. It's nothing special, but here it is.
I'll try the original idea again another day.
I see I have a ton of unread and some unanswered Flickr mails. I will catch up.

If you want to use this image, ask permission PRIOR to use. Don't be a thief - under most circumstances, I'm quite reasonable.

On my way home I spotted a crop duster about a mile away so I drover over to the edge of the field he was hitting and took several shots. Nothing artistic or special here, but I've always been a big fan of flying machines and seeing this guy performing maneuvers right over my head was just awsome.
I was in the UK in June 2010, and had the amazing opportunity to visit 3 crop circles. I thought I'd try some IR shots in one of them, since I managed to fix the front focus problem on my 350D IR camera.
