I need to do a much better job of just remembering and syncing my notes with my pics (damn, gotta do the SHR again!)

Stupidly I did not sync the camera date up, so while it gave me date and time. it was a a few days off . . .

Hanging around Gandhi Study Circle in Kerala. These (and the kitchen) made me feel at home.

Some of the puppets that were for sale. I've always found dangling puppets a little disturbing when they are just put up on a hook--much better to see them enlivened by a puppeteer, or arranged in some way so they don't look like they are fresh off the gibbet.

Skippy O'Day lives in a silver suitcase in the basement of Margaret's parents' place. He doesn't get many visitors, so he was overjoyed when I had him sit for a portrait session.

Margaret really hates him. I can't imagine why...

This picture is from a session I did at CopyCamp on using puppets as a role playing aid. I wanted to mix a video but we got a little crazy and didn't make a whole lot of sence. So I grabbed stills from the video.

Puppet Pizzazz with Greg Ruhe was a great show with puppets of all shapes and sizes!

Hand puppet by die ottis

Very reminiscent of shadow puppets from South East Asia, but not so intricate in design. Shows are often very political.

Taken in low light and with a little added texture.
