"Some find this to be a troubling photo, but is the "trouble" entirely in the eyes/minds of the beholder, evidence of our own societal prejudices?" No, it's not evidence of our societal prejudices, unless reacting negatively to a very strong suggestion of pedophelia is a 'societal prejudice.' ;-) That is, at least to my eye and mind, one extremely troubling photo - which is what makes it so interesting. I'm not troubled by a man being a doll collector, if that's what your comment is meant to suggest. Rather, I'm very troubled by the combination of the adult man's expression and the blank doll face. Sometimes, as Sigy said, a cigar is indeed just a cigar! :-) B.

The smallish images load quickly and the text adds a lot to the viewing experience. Easy to navigate and interesting to look at -- a good combination. A lot of us probably envy your opportunities to travel to neat places. Thanks for sharing.
