The Golden Gate Gene Club
A Fashion Doll Club
Sunday August 17, 2003
At the Oakland Library, Oakland California
|
Ernesto Padro-Campos.
Ernesto has been featured in Barbie Bazzar and is well known for his
Fashion Doll photographs. He devoted a whole photoshoot and
lecture for our club and presented slides during his talk. His theme was mixing and matching of new and vintage pieces of doll
clothing, accesories and props. What he presented was a visual feast.
Using natural light and supplemental reflectors he created
doll masterpieces with his simple Pentax Camera.
His subjects ranged from Sydney, Tiny Kitty in a Francie coat, Miss
America, Madra, Gene and Trent, to Mdvanni. Things that set his pictures
apart from the average are his playful usage of light, and the props
he uses on his doll sized sets. Some of the props he used were a tiny
Buddah found in the Fillmore, San Francisco and a table that was a rosewood
pottery stand purchases in Japantown.

Time quickly
went by as we shared our latest dolls and then had a raffle at the end of the
meeting. It was a treat to see so many of the latest Convention and special Event
dolls up close and personal. As usual it was a pleasure to be able to visit with
so many doll friends.
