You know how you find yourself magnetically drawn to certain subjects. I’ve found I have an obsession (slight) with photographing shop window dummies. Is it their immobility? Their inability to object to my photo-taking? Their passivity? I’ve never really figured it out and perhaps it’s better not to know. See also blog post (opens in new window): Somewhat surreal

One from way back. This picture taken in 1967 was made in Oxford Street, London. One can't deny the Freudian overtones.

They are just GREAT, Rob!
I absolutely love them.

Thank you Roel. You know I value your opinion. I wonder what a psychoanalyst might read into my interest in this subject?
Love the dummies .
