Negative Facespace 5 / Portugal, 2017This image is an interpretation of a display of puppets designed by João Paulo Seara Cardoso, which are on display at the Teatro de Marionetas do Porto. Part of my 'Negative Facespace' series, I sometimes use the alternative title of 'Pity the Poor Immigrant', courtesy of Bob Dylan.

Negative Facespace 1 / Malta, 2016Another image in the 'Negative Facespace' series. This one started out as a planter outside the front door of a house in a narrow street in Birgu.
Negative Facespace 31 / Wales, 2019A vintage, detachable doll's face peers into our souls from the void. From the 'Negative Facespace' series.
Negative Facespace 22 / Wales, 2019A doll with an understated but all too obvious pissed off look of manic intent. Usually it's the eyes that convey the manic nature; when the pupil is positioned dead-centre of the eye socket and is staring straight ahead we recognise the stereotypical sign of movie-style madness. In this case, however, the fixity of the mouth accentuates the effect of the eyes. This doll is as close to human as they get. Another from the 'Negative Facespace' series of images.
Negative Facespace 33 / Wales, 2019Elsa from the Disney film 'Frozen' gets the 'Negative Facespace' treatment. Because much of popular culture passes me by, I had no idea what this doll was when I set up this image. My only thought was that she looked suitably eerie. My granddaughters enlightened me and even sang the songs, but I still think she's unnaturally sinister. I mean, check out that eye!
Activating The Time Machine / Germany, 2009Hand held, slow shutter speed, conceptual shot, of someone activating the time machine. Captured in the BMW Museum, Munich.
The Omen / Australia, 2010Surely three equally spaced pigeons in a row alongside a church cross is an omen of some kind? I encountered this scene in the historical town of Taree, South Australia.
Unliving Doll / Wales, 2018A dead doll minus a shoe. Title adapted from a popular Cliff Richard and The Drifters number from 1959.
