i still get a buzz out of seeing these things. every dummy is a step closer to me actually doing an exhibition of my dummy photos.

i still get a buzz out of seeing these things. every dummy is a step closer to me actually doing an exhibition of my dummy photos.
yellow dummy
i had a day off work yesterday to go to Bath to watch some photos being assessed (not my own this time) which was really interested. on the way i saw this dummy which i took to be a positive sign !
dummy outside tescos
the security guard in the background asked me what i was doing. so i told him. this was possibly my most dangerous dummy photo so far as i nearly got squashed by a number of shoppers who were driving their trolleys at speed towards the just opened portcullis
dummy
a dummy (with bin in the background) outside my office. tidy
dummy (and passers by)
of all the photos i take, i find people stare at me most when taking pictures of dummies
but that's probably because they are so rare i spend longer than i usually do taking pictures to make sure the dummy is in focus
and to get a nice background (like this yellow t-shirt or the wall of legs on the top picture)
the fallen dummy
when i went to work this morning this dummy was on a pillar near the train station awaiting rediscovery. 12 hours later when i got back it was on the floor snout down. i suspect it's is less likely to be retrieved in this orientation
dummy
whilst out on a photoshoot with jen and leo (oooh, look at me!) i was delighted to find this dummy
Leo had asked me earlier what kinds of things i usually photograph. And there waiting for us was one of my favourite subjects !

we nearly ran over this dummy yesterday. luckily jane was happy to do an emergency stop and ease forward so i could hop out and get a photo.
don't forget you can get your funkypancake dummy books, delivered internationally, from here
funkypancake's book of dummies

grubby dummy in the gutter
you know what. i love taking pictures of found dummies.
dummy in hyde park
nearly exactly one year on in the same place as live8 i spotted this dummy (and could you imagine my surprise when i saw a Farringdon Lan sign in the background - not really)
farringdon lan
i took a picture of this as i thought it was a view of the wireless future where every street or area has its own wifi computer network. Farringdon is fairly high-techy area so that seemed appropriate.
but imagine my surprise when i looked at the photo more closely. click on the picture for a big view and look at the right side of the name plate ! This sign was quite high up the wall and i didn't spot it at the time.
i love it when i discover undiscovered things in my discoveries !
dummy
two versions as i wasn't sure which worked best
transparent dummy in a big field
we had just finished practicing with the band yesterday morning when suddenly esther ran in to the marquee and said "quick daddy, you need to come now" in a really urgent voice. i was a bit concerned then she said "you need to bring your camera".
i followed as she ran out in to the field and she she said "look, it's a dummy daddy!". she was very pleased with herself. and so was i.
dummy in the grass
this isn't in focus but i like the shot all the same
here it is hiding as i originally found it
dummy wedged down a drain
a dummy stuck down a classic waterway mk 2 drain cover.

dummy
i take a huge proportion of my floor-based pictures in Queen Anne Street in London. Here's another example.
It's a dummy. without any 6 year old's legs this time.
the difference two legs make
here is a dummy on some grass. i took two photos of it. one with legs in the background and one without.
i wasn't sure which one i liked best, so i thought i'd show you both. which do you prefer ? as usual, you can click photos for big versions.
with
or without
long lost jeremy finds
my long lost university flat mate jeremy (who isn't really long lost, i just haven't seen him for a while) sent me these pictures of things he found in Cornwall. lost and found.
dummy:
hat:
another hat ?
a lost favourite
this toy looks highly loved and no doubt someone would have spent a very sad night without it.
the twin dummy bit is interesting though isn't it ? Perhaps it belongs to (a) siamese twin(s)
