The above photograph was inspired with a theme of conformity. Often in life we feel like we are being controlled in everything we do just like a puppet on strings. We are then lead to believe that we need these strings to survive in society. I've used the colour red on her shoes and lips to symbolise unity and individuality. I have then enhanced the colour red on her lips and the lighting to help strengthen my ideas and hence fit the manipulated category.

It is very common to find some #puppets stores in Prague. The art of making them goes back to the 18th century.
From January to June, I worked as a public relations intern for The Jim Henson Company. It was wonderful, and I had the opportunity to help prepare for a month-long Australian tour of Puppet Up! – Uncensored, a live puppet improv show. I was also able to participate in their rehearsals for a show in Anaheim. This is me onstage with Leslie Carrara (Abby Cadabby on Sesame Street).
See Puppet Up! online.

"Puppets draw crowds to Oakland's Ferry Land for over 50 years
Oakland Tribune, Feb 26, 2004 by Kathleen Grant Geib, STAFF WRITER
RANDAL J. Metz's history of puppetry at Children's Fairyland in Oakland reads like a who's who of puppeteers in America.
It's also a terrific introduction to the world of puppets, particularly the world that has existed on the shores of Lake Merritt for more than half a century.
"Storybook Strings: 50 Years of Puppetry at Children's Fairyland's Storybook Puppet Theater" (Rappid Rabbit Publishing, $19.95) is as much a visual history of puppetry as a written one. More than half of Metz's book is dedicated to lively black-and-white photos of puppet shows, puppeteers and theater directors.
Metz's book also contains early Fairyland photos. You can view architect William Russell Everritt's models of Fairyland sets and a photo of William Penn Mott Jr. and Arthur E. Navlet, the creative minds behind Fairyland.
Metz describes Fairyland as a fun, accessible family park from the moment it opens in 1950. Even before the Storybook Puppet Theater is completed in 1956, puppet shows prove to be Fairyland's most popular entertainment. Metz describes the park as a magnet for the Bay Area's talented puppeteers.
Early puppet shows are presented by influential artists Ralph Chesse and Lettie Connell Schubert. Schubert is also particularly active in the early years of the San Francisco Bay Area Puppeteers Guild (SFBAPG).
Frank and Dorothy Hayward and Bruce Sedley also provide puppet shows at Fairyland in the early '50s. The Haywards' shows are part magic, part puppet-and-marionette shows, and Metz describes Frank as a gifted magician.
Hayward and Sedley
Upon completion of Storybook Theater, the Haywards are named puppet theater directors. Unfortunately, Frank suffers a fatal heart attack shortly after, leaving Dorothy both sole director and new mother.
In recognition for the theatrical support she receives from SFBAPG members after Frank's passing, Dorothy co-creates the San Francisco Bay Area Puppet Fair, an annual gathering of puppeteers at Fairyland.
Sedley, another early puppeteer, is famous at Fairyland not only for his sidekick King Fuddle, a ventriloquist puppet with whom he hosts cartoon shows on television, but also as creator of the Children's Fairyland Story-
book Magic Key.
Sedley's key idea begins when the puppeteer announces, on his television show, tours of Fairyland sets with King Fuddle. The puppeteer expects a few kids, but as the tours become popular, Sedley fears he will lose his voice from telling so many stories. Instead, he develops the idea of a Magic Key that kids insert into a "Talking Storybook" at each set, allowing them to listen to a story or song.
You can almost hear Metz's glee when he says Sedley's idea is still used in zoos and kids parks around the world. You never know what will emerge from the world of puppets, he seems to say.
Urbano and Coad
After Hayward retires as puppet theater director in 1959, handsome and talented Tony Urbano is appointed. Metz includes a photo of Urbano posing with his marionette, Prince Charming. It's uncanny how much they look alike.
Metz describes Urbano as a natural puppeteer who, as a youth, is fortunate enough to work with both Chesse and Schubert. After a stint in the armed forces, Urbano returns to Fairyland and works with Hayward and a young Frank Oz, of Muppets fame.
Unfortunately, Urbano's love of theater leaves him overworked, and in 1962 he bids farewell to Fairyland. The puppeteer's eclectic career includes television ads starring Snuggle Bear and the Parkay Tub and work in both "Men In Black" films. more>>
