Their Eyes Looked at Me as I Walked By- I Had to Photograph Them

There they were, lying on the counter in the front hall of the school.  Cleaned out of someone’s classroom, but it so difficult to pitch something with a face, looking at you.  Each of these has stories to tell I know.  Reminded me of Erika and Anna’s beloved BabyDoll (to see 30 year old Babydollclick for 10/21/09 post)

Four old school dolls, discarded from someone's classroom. Staring at me.

If only they could talk.

    Nice shot. I wonder if the little girl with the spiked hair is thumbing her nose to the world or is saluting you for showing interest one last time.

    I thought that was Babydoll!
    Where are the dolls now?

    • The dolls are at school on the counter as of Friday AM. I will see if they have moved when I return on Monday morning. It does look like Babydoll’s cousin, doesn’t it?

    What’s with the one in the middle? Yellow lips, yellow eyes. Jaundice maybe?
