This is a recreation of my childhood doll family in the 1960's. This is pretty much what it looked like, although some of these dolls are repros.
Bubblecut Barbie was the mom, because she looked old to me : ) She is a repro. She is wearing Fun at the Fair from 1965.
She had five daughters....Francie, TNT Barbie, Talking Barbie, Tammy and Pepper.
Francie is the only doll here that was originally mine. She is a TNT Francie, made from 1966-71. She is most likely and early one. She is wearing Fresh As A Daisy from 1966.
TNT Barbie is a repro and is wearing a repro of Smasheroo from 1968-69. (My Francie often wore this outfit).
Repro Marlo Flip Barbie is standing in for my Talking Barbie. They have the same face and similar hair, and I thought my talker was the prettiest Barbie ever. She's wearing Fun-n-Games from 1965.
Tammy is a vintage doll (1962) and is wearing Travel Along.
Pepper is also vintage (1963-65) and is wearing her original outfit from 1963.
Ken married Francie and they lived in the New Dream House. Ken is vintage (1962-65) and is wearing Rally Gear from 1969-70.
Sadly, missing from this happy family is Abraham Lincoln, who came from the Lincoln shop in Springfield, IL. He married TNT Barbie in a glorious wedding, but has long since been lost, never to be replaced. May he RIP.
Thanks everyone for looking! I'm going to be taking a break from dolls for awhile, maybe just doing a little bit of minis : )

When I was young, there was a bunch of trees behind my house. The area where I grew up didn't become more populated until I was about 14 or 15, and I spent the better part of my years between 9-12 running on this path I'm sitting on. I'm pretty sure to some degree, this path and the trees surrounding it is where a bit of my imagination developed. The neighbor kids and I would spend hours out back building forts with fallen branches. Some of my favorite memories as a kid were spent in the trees surrounding my street. Being young with no gauge for distance, the trees seemed to go on for miles. There was no limit to how far I could wander through them.
Until today I don't believe I have really spent time with myself in those woods like I did when I was 10. I was driving past them the other day and decided that today was a good day to take a walk through my old stomping grounds. Once I got a few yards down the path I immediately recognized some of the same trees that I used to hide behind or make teepees against. But it was bittersweet. The woods that seemed to go on for miles have shrunk and are now surrounded by new homes. I can now see the beginning and the end of both sides of the path, rather than having to basically swim through trees to find the end.
I'm disappointed for the future kids of my street. They will never know the happiness and awe of spending hours behind their houses and getting lost in nature. Of course they still can to some degree, but it isn't quite the same. But I am so grateful that I had those invaluable years and that this path is still here. It was so magical to me for so many years. I think I'll need to venture back in the spring.

The idea for this creation was to capture the look and feel of a wooden toy by mainly using basic bricks - bringing back childhood memories and taking us back to the roots of LEGO!
Hi hi everyone. I Hope you are well.\(^_^)/
Some other photos and I'll finish the "Isles aux Coudres" series.This summer I took many many photos, but I was unable to share all with you. I thought about making series for every theme I upload (if it has more than 3 photos on the theme).
Upcoming series after "Isles aux Coudres":
-"Fireworks"
-"Inka"
-"Gilbert"
-"Punky"
-"After the rain"
-"Montreal Biodome with Canon"
-"Botanical Garden of Montreal with Canon”
Charlie will be here too!
I can't make a fixed date to upload photos though.:(
This was sort of….uhm…announcement that I am alive! ahahaha. And I still take photos!! ahahahaha.
In excursion I was very glad that my precious friends came. (o*-*o).
The hotel had a little park and toys for children in the yard. Fun! Fun! Fun!

This time shooting it with a black aluminum foil snoot to focus the light. Also added a fill card. It looks more mysterious I think.

Kindheit...
Das ist Fantasie, Abenteuer und Spiel, und alle Jahreszeiten sind voller Zauber, wie dieser magisch erscheinende Winterwald. Zurück in der Freude! Das ist Kindheit.
Kindheit und Spiel hat in meinem Konzept viel mit der Motivationskraft A3 zu tun.
A3 verleiht Leichtigkeit und die Lust am Spiel. Das Wort SPAß wird ganz groß... ganz ganz groß geschrieben.

This is an outtake from a family shooting this year. I had to capture this nice scene besides the set.
It isn't easy to come up with a picture that represents a childhood memory, but I still have my pencil box from grade one.The picture on the lid was of children pulling a sleigh over the snow. There was a ruler marked on one side and three compartments inside. Dad wrote my name on the bottom which was marked over by my classmate who stole it from me and it was months before I got it back. His name is still also on the bottom. I forgive you, Harry :)

It almost made me a little sad, watching these kids playing in the water feature in the city centre. It made me reflect on the simple joys and innocence of childhood days past, of being in the moment, amongst the whoops and yelps of a fleeting summer day. Where did all that time go?
Wandering around Minami-Senju ....I caught this!!
It felt symbolic on a number of levels.
Back to the piano..and videos later.
This at-home weekend has been nice!
What exciting things did you do?

Just a couple of the books I still have from my childhood. Reading was always very important to me, no matter the subject or material and it still is.
