The image that I chose is that of a baby doll, peacefully sleeping in a shop window in Rotherham, England. One would have to look twice to notice that it’s not an actual real baby, but instead a toy doll. One immediate giveaway is the price tag attached at it’s hip. As a father of a four year old daughter, there are “sleeping” babies scattered about in every room of our house. Most days there is nap time where the dolls are carefully put in their “bed”, tucked in, before they drift off to sleep while listening to a calming classical Spotify playlist. I’m interested in how dolls can sometimes “come to life”, and acquire human-like qualities. The doll seems to not be concerned with the day to day commotion outside of the shop’s window. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel that the audio clip of someone snoring adds to the whimsical, playful attitude of the doll, while adding a real, human like aspect to the photograph. It reminds me of the many nap sessions that we have in our house and how in my daughter’s eyes, her dolls are much more than lifeless playthings. They have names, personalities, likes and dislikes, etc. They are her friends, sisters, and brothers, who all hold a seemingly important position in our family. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
