What if

December 2010

RIVER: "What if we had ideas that could think for themselves? What if one day our dreams no longer needed us? When these things occur and are held to be true, the time will be upon us. The time of Angels."

Projection

December 2010

So, this particular doll is the Projected Weeping Angel. Technically, not from "Blink" but from "Time of the Angels". Through The Lens, it actually looks like a projection and not a solid plastic thing. Like when you watch TV and you see a computer screen somewhere, and the screen, well, blinks. I know why this happens. No idea how it works with the doll, though.

I used a tripod for all these photos. The light source is fluorescent light - the desk lamp. It's not exactly a spotlight, but it doesn't dissipate all over the place either. Also, easy to move around. Me likes.

As a side note, this was one of the very few times that the auto-focus proved useless. I had actually missed the process of focusing manually. (Good thing they were still scenes and I was in no hurry, though - because if you need to focus real fast with the Lumix... you can't. Or at least I can't.)

A good look

THE DOCTOR: That was the projection of an Angel. It's reaching out, getting a good look at us. It's no longer dormant.

Doll

December 2010

I refuse to call them action figures. I call them dolls. For one, it's not hypocritical. If you're gonna be childish, do it with joy and pride! And secondly, in stark contrast with action figures, dolls can actually be spooky. Dolls can scare the shit out of you. Dolls can... jesus fucking christ, this doll just moved.

Blink III

December 2010

THE DOCTOR: Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you could believe. Don't turn your back, don't look away and don't blink. Good luck.

Blink II

December 2010

THE DOCTOR: Lonely assassins, they used to be called. No one quite knows where they came from, but they're as old as the Universe — or very nearly.

~ "Doctor Who: Blink"

Blink I

December 2010

THE DOCTOR: Fascinating race, the Weeping Angels. The only psychopaths in the universe to kill you nicely.
