A few weeks ago I was in the local charity shop, I came across a pair of 60’s style wooden chairs for a fiver,
I didn’t buy them at the time because I actually didn't need a pair chairs, I also was on foot and it’s fair walk back home with two chairs,
I have ideas for photos going around my head most of the time and I have to stop myself buying things just on the back of an idea for one or two photos.

So I walked home empty handed, I thought to myself, if they are still there next weekend and I hadn’t talked myself out of buying them I might get them.

By the following weekend, I had planned the photo in my head, it was a damn good job those chairs were still there.

I had also decided Carmen was going be the one to sit in the chair, I thought she look a little like Christine Keeler with her black hair.

These were taken in my living room, it was daytime, I set up a black backdrop in front of the window (space reasons),
l blacked out the windows behind the backdrop, I blacked out the glass in the doors, I blacked out everything.
I processed the photos and decided maybe I would take a few more, I wanted to wait until it was dark outside this time.

While we were waiting I moved Carmen next to my desk, she looked lovely sat waiting, I needed to catch that moment.
Finally it was going dark and we could set up again,

Bob has two of those type of chairs, and from what I remember they went to some of the first doll meets back then, and number of members used them in the same way, one being Mr Wulfie, photos may still be in his albums.
From what I think the chairs are still in the blue transit van, and like you they also came from a charity shop, but don't think they are easy to find, oh great photos by the way, Lady-J (y)

Loverly shots and well worth the effort. Love the natural one aswell, your dolls always seem to have a lot of life in them.

It all ended the year before I was born, but for me 1964 is more infamous for the total cancellation of the TSR2. We could have had Gerry Anderson's sci fi aircraft in our skies but for that :) Bastards.

I was born in 1964 so I don’t actually remember it, but do remember reading about it as a young man, and the movie they made of it - Dusty Springfield sang the title song.

Yes, I do remember seeing those photos that Wulfie did at one of the doll meets, I got to see them it was quite a few years after they were originally taken, I believe also Samurai did some too. Later in 2018 Rentell did a photo in the style of Christine Keeler with his DS doll, all their photos have chipped at my mind over the years to try and do something similar myself, but whenever I had seen a chair like that for sale they were in antique shops and not at a price I was willing to pay.

Thank you, It's funny how sometimes it takes hours and hours trying to get a photo, then another time the spur of the moment shot can just happen.

Yep, the other girls do like to photobomb a lot of the time. ;)

This reminds me of Miss Emma. 🙂 Now I know where she gets her ideas from!



Oops! It's Mrs Emma now, isn't it? I keep forgetting! 😵‍💫
Sara, you are very knowledgeable, although I would say Miss Carmen was copying something Mrs Emma would do, for us here they are so different than out usual style.
