The Adventures of Gerschy

Postby absynthe1972 » Sun Jul 17, 2011 10:53 pm

It's been awhile since I've written a photo story. In fact, it feels like forever. I posted this over at the JS forum, too...Thought I'd share it over here. It's also been forever and a day since I've even said anything here. I've just mainly lurked...and read MadVinyl, to which I'm not addicted.




Image
Gerschy : I like these flowers. Will you plant some next summer for me?
Me : Yes...if I knew what they were.
Gerschy : You don't know?
Me : No. I have no idea. They're small and pretty, though.
Gerschy : You took biology in school!
Me : *cough* That's been a long time ago. *cough*
Gerschy : You don't remember, then.
Me : Uh, no. I've forgotten.
Gerschy : I didn't realize you were that old. dry.gif
Me : Thanks. I think.

Image
Gerschy : Since you don't know what these flowers are, I think you should look them up when we get home.
Me : Next summer is a long time away.
Gerschy : You should be prepared, then.
Me : Why are you so worried about not having flowers in the back yard this year?
Gerschy : I like flowers.
Me : So do I.
Gerschy : Then plant some flowers for the upcoming summer!
Me : I'll have to wait until the bulbs go on sale. I'll get a lot of them then and planted before the first frost.
Gerschy : Good. Elves need flowers, you know.

Image
Gerschy : Am I working today?
Me : Why?
Gerschy : You keep taking my picture every where we go.
Me : I like taking your picture.
Gerschy : I expect to get paid for this modeling gig, then.
Me : Hmph...I already told you I was going to plant some bulbs before the first frost.
Gerschy : True. That's not instant satisfaction, though.
Me : Well, Gerschy, 'you can't always get what you want...'
Gerschy : You are such an ordit.
Me : 'But if you try sometimes well you just might find you get what you need!'
Gerschy : *face palm*

Image
Gerschy : A MAZE!!!
Me : Let's play hide and seek!
Gerschy : Finally! I get to play a game!
Me : Hurry up! Start hiding!
Gerschy : Start counting!
Me : Eins, zwei, drei...
Gerschy : ENGLISH VERDAMMT!
Me : *giggles* Hide then!

Image
Me : CAUGHT YOU!
Gerschy : Darn!
Me : I sort of had an advantage.
Gerschy : Ohhhhhh, reallllllly?
Me : I'm a lot taller than you. These hedges don't even come up to my knees.
Gerschy : We need more elves.
Me : Hmmm...Maybe you'll have a friend in the next couple of weeks.
Gerschy : My size friend?
Me : Maaaaayyyyyybe.
Gerschy : You're getting me a horse!
Me : Uh, no. Not a horse.
Gerschy : I want a horse.
Me : You have a horse.
Gerschy : I want another horse.
Me : You're not getting another horse.
Gerschy : You're no fun. *stalks off through maze*

Image
Gerschy : They're not playing. They're just pretending to play.
Me : I know. They're statues.
Gerschy : What's the point in that?
Me : Hmmm...Maybe so people and elves can hear the music in their heads?
Gerschy : What kind of music?
Me : The sign back there said they're Chinese musicians.
Gerschy : Oh.
Me : Listen closely. You'll hear it.
Gerschy : *concentrates* OH! I HEAR IT!

This is what she told me she heard when we got back home : http://music.ibiblio.org/pub/multimedia ... Leisure.au

Image
Gerschy : I'm tired. That's a lot of walking. I'll just stay here.
Me : I'm tired, too.
Gerschy : Then stay in the car.
Me : I want to see the Sun Singer.
Gerschy : You can see him from here.
Me : I know. Art's already there. I want to go up there, too.
Gerschy : You're missing out on some nice a/c.
Me : Yeah, yeah. I want to take a photo of him.
Gerschy : Careful. You might get wet.
Me : ???????
Gerschy : He's uh......without a loin cloth.
Me : Now WHY would he do that?
Gerschy : You'll take an embarrassing photo of him.
Me : *sigh* He's a statue.
Gerschy : Yeah, right. Just wait. I bet at nightfall, these 'statues' come to life.
Me : I promise not to take an embarrassing photo of him.
Gerschy : If you do, you'll come back to the car wet.
Me : You're weird.
Gerschy : Look who's talking!

Image
Gerschy : Can we keep her?
Me : Seriously?
Gerschy : Yes. Seriously. We need a sphinx.
Me : *sigh* I'm not really in the mood to deal with riddles every day.
Gerschy : I am.
Me : You'll keep the sphinx company then?
Gerschy : Yes. So will the smaller ones, too.
Me : I think the sphinx might get tired of them and eat them.
Gerschy : That's the point!
Me : blink.gif unsure.gif Sometimes, I don't think you're right in the head.
Gerschy : Haven't we had this conversation before?
Me : *pointedly ignores the elf*

Image
Image
Gerschy : I'm tired.
Me : Come on. It's time to go.
Gerschy : I don't want to walk all the way back to the car.
Me : Neither do I but Art and Laz are ready to leave.
Gerschy : My feet hurt.
Me : Mine do, too. It's still time to go.
Gerschy : Carry me.
Me : Okay. We have been doing a lot of walking. You've got short legs.
Gerschy : It's not my fault that I'm not 1:1 scale.
Me : If you were 1:1 scale, you'd scare me.
Gerschy : Now you know how I feel.
Me : Good point. Let's go.
Gerschy : Where?
Me : Dinner and then home.
Gerschy : Good. This was fun...but I'm hot and tired now...and you won't let me bring the sphinx home. No fair.
Me : I don't think the owners of the park would appreciate that.
Gerschy : *yawns*

Until the next adventure...

You sure know how to take pretty pictures <3. Composition and posing are so natural. I love it. What type of doll is Gerschy? She is beautiful :)

HAT! Wow she looks so great in black and white. :D
A hobby isn't supposed to leave you wistful, regretful and vaguely disappointed. BJD collecting is as customizable as the dolls themselves. Do whatever pleases you the most, because otherwise, why do it at all? All for the 'Gram Bitches love the 'Gram.

She does! I love her in b/w. But I'm not too terribly motivated to learn how to develop color film and prints. And black and white film is SO much more forgiving. ;) I can't wait until I get the new filters I ordered (one Red 25 and Yellow 8) to see how good those treat her. (I didn't use any filters for these...just naked glass!)
