Believe it or not, this doll costs a few hundred bucks and there is a huge following for this. Our friend has a small collection. Imagine all these dolls staring at you at night...

yea, I'm thinking of using the square crop for my website when I've got the chance to update it. Monkeys are very cute, but not when they raid your kitchen! :bsmilie:

Thanks guys Medan reminds me of what Singapore would probably have been like in the 60s. Interesting place, but didn't dare to bring my DSLR over, and my shots were all taken from the car! :bsmilie:

#12. The day didn't start too well, with some delays and a last minute change of venue, but glad that the shoot organised between a few of us went through pretty well in the end. This is one of the shots.

I am horrible at portraits but I sure know a good one when I see one. This is good. The lighting is nicely done. Like the make up too. Blurring or bokeh on the shoulder a little bit weird to me.
