Come along by spanner

Come along

I would like to write that this is a re-enactment of a scene I saw today, where a parent was guiding their child and the child was looking with love and wonder at the parent. However I didn't and it isn't.
What it is in-fact is a total fluke composition that I quite liked and decided to recreate and photograph. I then pretended that it might be something I saw today and hopefully made you go all warm and fuzzy and make you think of the times you have guided your own child or been guided yourself.
I either succeeded or failed to mess with your brain.
i love the lighting in all of your danbo photos. it makes it look almost as if its animated

My brain is not messed by this but I don´t quite understand why the parent does not look at the child, why there´s no connection between them. It puzzles me, but it´s always a good thing when a pic does that to me...or it may just be that my english isn´t good enough for me to understand the description completely...

@susale No it's not your English. Picture a scene where a parent is checking that no traffic is coming and getting ready to hurry across the road when it is safe. A sort of comforting drag across the road saying "come along". I see it all the time but then I have kids at primary school.

@spanner Oh okey, now I got it. Maybe you could have added some toy cars passing by with motion blur...

@susale far too much effort. I just added a long very poorly worded description. Seriously quick half hearted photo today.

I never thought I would feel emotion from two cardboard figures, but I do!
November 6th, 2013  
Yep I can feel the emotion too !

@hippiechick13 @channelf Thank you for taking the time to look and comment. I really appreciate it.

@psychographer Excellent - Thanks for letting me know.

Simple but so sweet!!!!

Very sweet image. I enjoyed your narrative. It's wonderful where this project leads, isn't it….

Lol.... either way it's a cute picture!

@allisonraposa Thanks Allison

@pflaume Thanks Lisa - I was a little frazzled last night so the narrative is waffle.

I had to smile at this one! amazing how expressive these figures can be! Apparently there's some other kind of figure toy based on Japanese character. Have you seen that on 365 yet?
November 8th, 2013  
@angelat I have no idea about this other character. I would love to find out more. Thank you for your kind comments.

@spanner - the other one seems to be made of wood and looks like it can be folded up into a little cube. I think the lady called it cubey/cubo. I'll keep an eye out and let you know more when I find it again. Apparently it has met Danbo! So now I'm really curious: where did you find this Danbo character?
November 8th, 2013  
just found it: Junko Yokota is the name of the 365 photographer, though I don't know how you find someone by name on this site.
November 8th, 2013  
@angelat type in the name in the search section. Press search and then search under users. I think this person is using a cubebot. Hope you find him/her.
November 8th, 2013  
@spanner thanks for that! cubebot sounds familiar. I'm pretty sure that's what she called it. I think it was only in the last few days that she posted the pic of that with Danbo. One of them was sitting on a red toy horse.

you have totally messed with my brain... such a cute shot... what was the question? ;p
November 9th, 2013  
Brain messed! Baby Danbo has a cute face!
