For these photos of my favourite childhood toys, my idea was to contrast the synthetic pastel colours with the natural beach landscape where I used to spend many hours playing with them. Even though these were just plastic toys, they meant a great deal to me growing up. They all had names and I would bring them everywhere I went. I used to race them in the stream and give them tea parties. I always wanted a real horse growing up but plastic horses were as close as I could get.
