A Suit of Plastic Baby Dolls

Photography by Phillip ToledanoIf you are familiar with my Toddlerpedes I'm sure you understand why this bizarre photo by Phillip Toledano appeals to me.

The following text is Phillip Toledano's Artist statement.

"I was born in London on December 6th, 1968 to an american father and a french Moroccan mother. After a convincing presentation on the merits of photography to my parents at the age of 11, I received my first camera. I have been taking slightly odd pictures ever since. My photography career was briefly interrupted by a ten-year stint as an art director working at ad agencies. I resumed full time picture-taking a few years ago. I believe that everything should start with an idea, whether it be a single image, or a series. I also believe that a photography should be like an unfinished sentence. There should be space for questions. I live and work in new york city."

I also recommend the hope and fear section of Phillip's website for more inspiration.
