Sasha Doll Style

11 August 2010

I took these wonderful photographs in July a couple of years ago when my mum and I visited friends in Dundrum.  I have been intending to create the Sasha story using the photographs for such a long time...

Finally... it is finished and on my website Murlough Bay...

For once I actually went prepared... Sasha's and Gregor, all their accessories and beach toys... camera... water and a rug for me to lie on (plus one for mum and her friend who preferred to sit a little further up the beach from me... but who also answered loads of questions from walkers who were interested in what I was busy doing... which was really helpful...)

The view of the Mourne Mountains sweeping down to the sea are (I think) the very best from the beach here... it is amazing and really stunning.

It was very funny doing this setting... I am not really one for photographing the Sasha dolls in public (or at least where people walking past can see me...) 

Anyway, mum and her friend and I had walked down to the beach and I chose the perfect place to set up... near to the sea... everything ready to photograph... when I realised the tide was coming in (very quickly) and I and my Sasha dolls were quickly sinking into a sand bank. 

While I had been busy... I hadn't noticed the sea surround me...  Mum and her friend had to paddle out to help me move everything further up the shore...  It was funny afterwards!!!

Mum said wistfully that she wished she had taken a photograph... but there wasn't the time...
