Photo Project

Project Stuffedy:
Remember when you were younger and you thought your stuffed animal/doll was real and had feelings? Our generation is chalk full of stories like that, and especially with the help of Pixar’s Toy Story it has become even more prevalent in our minds the days we thought that no matter what, our stuffed animals were real. And they definitely did help us while growing up. They were always there for a quick reassuring and comforting hug. For many of us, they are still with us, even though we are “adults” now. No matter what, our favorite stuffed animals will always be there, even if in the back of our minds because we don’t have them anymore.
For those of us who still have our favorite Stuffed Animals, this is where my project starts. YOU!
I need your help. What is the point of doing this project if I just use “random” stuffedies? There is none. What will solidify this project is by using stuffedies that have meaning behind them.
What I am asking is for you to donate (only for a short time I promise upon promise to send them back!!!!) your favorite stuffed animal to me so I can shoot it and then immediately return it to you via USPS (gotta love their FlatRate boxes!). All you need to do is send your stuffed animal with a slip of paper saying what it’s name is, your name and of course, your address so I can send it back.
Now, I know that many of you are saying, “Pft, she won’t send it back, she’ll keep it.” Let me reassure you, that is not the case. If that were, than this project totally wouldn’t have any meaning at all.
So please, if you can, help me out with my latest project. It would mean the world to me. As soon as I have some solid photographs, I will start posting them.
Also, please feel free to invite your friends. The more participants the better and it will truly make this project come to life!
Thank you so much for all the help! You guys are the best!!!
