Lyra and I took a quick road trip to Albany, NY, primarily to see an exhibit on Mattel Barbie dolls at the New York State Museum. Naturally I took a Barbie doll–Ebru. I packed a selection of props, and so did she, as we both thought that I would shoot elaborate photostories of her in the hotel and at the exhibit. However, the hotel proved so unhospitable and the exhibit so visually intense that my initial photostory of Ebru packing ended up being the most extensive one.
