Yeah, frailty is a common theme. There are a few that are aggressive or dominant, but I like the broken dolls. I love the Brothers Quay more than anything too. I just think there's a weird beauty to old broken dolls. I don't even really know what the metaphor means. It's just melancholic and beautiful.
Your photography (and subsequent collage work with it) makes me what to throw my camera and computer in the trash and work at Taco Bell. Your eye is very profound and simplistic at the same time. You have found a way of telling volumes of sub text in a single frame... you basically have done what I have been trying to achieve in my own photos for years... thats it, Taco Bell here I come.
