davidd's A Doll A Day 2018

[davidd]

... Now just stick with the challenge to the end with uninspired, silly, mundane ones and you're good.

Although, I still think they're awesome, like the yesterday's vampy one....

To be honest, I'm kinda fed up with my dolly portraits. Last year, Lejays started doing quick snapshots (still funny as hell, though) on workdays, saving 'pretty and elaborate' pics for weekends.

How's Frank, by the way?

I've been thinking about putting together a list or spreadsheet like you mentioned that you use, so I can see who I have photographed, who I have photographed multiple times already, and then figure out how to at least include new figures in the photos. But that would require paging back through over 200 photos and actually writing stuff down.


Thank you, I was fairly happy with the Elissabat pic from yesterday even though it ended up just being a quick stand-n-snap rather than what I initially had in mind.

Your dolly portraits have been extremely enjoyable and informative. I am happy for the opportunity to see nice, clear, complete full-length portraits of so many dolls that I have not seen before or which kind of passed underneath my radar when they were released. I look forward to seeing what new treasure you will reveal each day. Of course, every time that you post a beautiful new portrait against an inky-black background makes me want a light tent even more. I've tried to "fake it" but the results have not been satisfactory.

I would be happy with quick and crummy snapshots if I could make them funny. I am finding inspiration and cleverness to be extremely elusive right now.

Yeah, we haven't seen Frank passed out in the corner for a while, mostly because his set, that I moved with the intention of keeping it clutter-free and useable, has become a dumping ground for detritus from a variety of projects, both toy and non-toy related.

Thank you for your daily comments. It helps me keep going. A glance at the calendar indicates that today is Day 233 of the year. We have only 132 days to go, so we are nearly two-thirds done! I've noticed that on some days, we are almost the only ones commenting on each other's photos. Perhaps we both need to do something exciting to re-engage with our audience!


Okay... I was planning to just sit here and mindlessly surf the Internet for a while, but your query about Frank has inspired me to get out of my chair and go try to at least clean up his space a little bit.
