First a bit of background: she had been begging for a doll from a U.S. company called American Girl or something like that. I called the company to order, only to be told that they could not ship to Switzerland because their dolls "did not meet European standards." I thought of inquiring what possible poisons the dolls contain which were acceptable for American but not European children, but instead I had the company ship the doll-and-book set to my family in Florida, who in turn sent it on to us. All this made the wait longer for Monica, and her first words for 2 weeks upon coming home from school were, "Did it arrive?" Well, one day it finally did arrive, and I was ready with my R8 when she walked into the house and saw the package. These are the resulting pictures. All were taken with Leica R8, 4/35-70mm Vario Elmar, Metz flash, on Kodachrome 25 (that is the standard film in my R8). Here, Monica has just realized what this box is, and is trying to figure out how to open it: http://www.wajsman.com/2003_9alt1.jpg Big brother comes to help: http://www.wajsman.com/2003_9alt2.jpg Finally, the box is breached and Monica starts to extract the contents: http://www.wajsman.com/2003_9alt3.jpg The doll is carefully examined... http://www.wajsman.com/2003_9alt4.jpg ...and pronounced satisfactory, apparently. This is the main picture: http://www.wajsman.com/2003_9.jpg The complete PAW index is at: http://www.wajsman.com/indexpaw2003.htm and comments/critique are always welcome and appreciated.
