<<< o >>>not exactly on the ball 29 comments + add yours
chromasia.com

A couple of days ago I mentioned that Libby and Tabby were unwell and thought, at the time, that I'd managed to avoid catching it ... I was wrong. I woke up yesterday morning shivering, coughing and feeling as though I'd been run over by a large truck, ... and don't feel any better today.

Anyway, my reason for mentioning this is that I doubt I'll be posting much of anything over the next day or so, and just wanted to let you know. I do have a few shots in the archive, that if I was a bit more on the ball I might be able to turn into something worth looking at ... but I seriously doubt it.

Anyway, this shot was taken ages ago, but I didn't post it at the time as her horribly vacant stare annoyed me. Having looked in the mirror this morning though – just imagine her face with the addition of puffy, blood-shot eyes, a red nose and stubble – it seemed quite fitting.

This is really scary... and/or disturbing.
Who made such a human doll???

What a bummer! Sorry to hear you're sick. Rest and recuperate, and I hope you're feeling better soon. We'll miss you...

Very special. Looks like a render.

Get well soon

I actually like it! She's got a sort of 'Barbarella's Mum' look about her. (Or am I on my own with that one?).

This is a really cool shot. She does look sad, and perhaps under the weather. I really like the pinks and greens in the coloring. Good job. And I hope you get well

Been following your photoblog for awhile. I just love the images of your children. They are very special years....
That such a doll as this actually exists..is a little creepy. But how you captured her thru your camera lens..is simply amazing
Thanks for sharing...

David, this is a fantastic picture. It's striking and haunting at the same time.

I love the absent, vacant look in your photograph. And her eyes are intriguing.

comment by Nina at 10:12 PM (GMT) on 29 February, 2008

Good shot!

comment by Deb at 01:41 PM (GMT) on 1 March, 2008

I don't see a vacant look at all. I see...a deep melancholy. A moment of 'recherche du temps perdu'.

Hope you get better soon. Tell Libby I'll mail later (when I wake up!)

Hi David.
I had learned a lot from your photos evey day.
Amazing color and composition attract me.
I'd like your children photos very much.

Thanks again for your support!

comment by mehdi at 07:29 AM (GMT) on 5 March, 2008

oh this is a piece of art, the wide frame, photo composition, and it looks more like a drawing or rendered by a 3D engine.

comment by Navin Harish at 11:11 AM (GMT) on 5 March, 2008

Looks like either not enough sleep or too much alcohol
