Aunt Jodie special ordered a whole mess of Little People to integrate Abby’s Little People neighborhood. We have the Little People castle, the Little People farm and the Little People camping set, but they all came with white Little People. Because Abby is biracial, we’ve made a point to include dolls of all races in her toy collection, and Aunt Jodie has been especially helpful in that regard.<\/p>\n

Abby and I were playing with the new additions and I got the idea they, along with the ones we already had, would make a good group shot. Strobist info: Vivitar 285HV in 43 inch silver umbrella at 1\/16 camera right for main light and SB-26 at 1\/64 camera left for fill.<\/p>\n

You have to look hard for nonwhite dolls or special order them. That’s kind of sad, actually. Jodie also specially ordered a black family that matches a doll house (which came with a white family) Abby got for Christmas. The black mom, dad and baby wear the exact same clothes and have the same expressions on their faces as the white mom, dad and baby.<\/p>\n

After the group shot, I assembled my poor-man’s macro setup to shoot some individual portraits. This is my favorite Little People from the jumbo pack Jodie got. I’m not sure what the deal is with the porn-star ‘stache. He looks like a little kid, but the ‘stache clearly indicates he’s an adult and probably up to no good. I’m not sure if the others aren’t going to run him out of the neighborhood. I have no idea why he’s carrying a present, either. Make up your own jokes. The ground is fertile in that regard. Strobist info: Same flash and umbrella camera right and the SB-26 with DIY gridspot camera left for the hair light.<\/p>\n

Incidently, Little People these days are made of plastic. In my day, when I had the Little People houseboat, they had wooden bodies and plastic heads. Times change, I guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
