A friend in Cape Town is packing up her house with a view to downsizing so she gave me one of her many porcelain dolls. I have named the doll Ginny. It has been cold and raining again today, so in a break in the rain I nipped outside to shoot Ginny through the lounge window. I am sure I will find many other ways to use Ginny to practice lighting in the future, but utilizing the weather today just seemed like a good place to start
@ludwigsdiana Oh dear, I'm so sorry Diana. Gosh I had no idea! The name just seemed to suit this doll somehow. I don't know if my friend had ever named her. When she gave the doll to me I asked what the name was and she just said "you give her a name"
@narayani Thank you. Yes you and Diana are right - there does seem to be a longing in the look. I wonder if it is just the angle I caught her as she seems to be looking away into the distance?
Sad memories for me though, late last year my best friend died, guess what her name was ;-)
