-My little Pinocchio, if you want to become a real boy you have to go to school!
-Why?
-To learn lots of things and get smart!
-Then I will be a real boy?
-Yes my son. Here's an apple for your teacher... and of course don't forget your book! Ahh, let me take a good look at you! Now go straight to school with the other kids and when it is over, come right back!
-OK, goodbye Father, goodbye Figaro!
-Why?
-To learn lots of things and get smart!
-Then I will be a real boy?
-Yes my son. Here's an apple for your teacher... and of course don't forget your book! Ahh, let me take a good look at you! Now go straight to school with the other kids and when it is over, come right back!
-OK, goodbye Father, goodbye Figaro!
-Look Gideon, a wooden boy going to school...
-Ah yes...
-A WOODEN BOY!...Look! A puppet without strings! Isn't that amazing!
-Amazing... !
-Well I know someone who would give anything for a thing like that!
-Who?
-Stromboli the puppeteer! He is in town! If we play our cards right we can win a fortune! Let's head that boy off
-Oops excuse me my boy, are you OK?
-Oh... yes sir...!
-I am very sorry I walked into you, I get so clumsy sometimes...! Hope you are not injured!
-I am all right, I am on the way to school!
-Ah school... Then you haven't heard of the easier way to success!
-Eehm, no...
-No? Well my boy I am speaking about the theatre! Music, lights, fame, money! With that physique you are a natural born actor!
-But... I was going...
-Oh I can see your name written in big bright lights!What's your name?
-Pinocchio.
-OK then Pinocchio! We know the perfect theatre for you! Follow us and you will soon be a star! Come on! No time to waste!
'I've got no strings
so I have fun
I'm not tied up to anyone
they've got strings
but you can see
there are no strings on me!'...
... (applause)...
-Bravo Pinocchio! They loved you! Look they paid well!
-You mean I am good? Am I an actor now?
-Yes my little treasure you are magnificent!
-Yay! Can't wait to go home and tell my father!
-Home? Of course, to your father, hahaha! That's very very funny!
-Is it? Haha, OK I will be back in the morning!
-What? ... Ahaha! Yes yes... be back in the morning...
-THERE... this will be your home where I can always find you!
-Oh no please, let me out of here...
-You are going nowhere, now be quiet! Good night my little wooden goldmine!
... ...
-No no, you can't keep me in here! Help, help!... Jimini, oh Jimini!
-Pinocchio, what happened? I thought you wouldn't need me now that you have great success! What did he do to you?
-Oh he is mad! I should have listened to you Jiminy! Now I will never see my father again!
-Wait, I will try to get you out... Well... no use... That lock is too rusty! But look... It's that star again!...
-Must be the Fairy lady! Oh what will I tell her?...
-You better tell her the truth!...
-Hello! Oh what happened Pinocchio? Didn't you go to school today?
-Eehm... I... I did but...
-Go on tell her!
-Well, I was going to school but... I met somebody...
-Met somebody? Who?
-I... I met two big monsters! With scary green eyes!
-Really! Weren't you afraid?
-No ma'am... But they...tied me in a big sack!
-You don't say! And where was sir Jiminy?
-They put him in a little sack!.... Oh no, what happened to my nose?
-Perhaps you aren't telling the truth Pinocchio! You see, a lie keeps growing and growing until it’s as plain as the nose on your face!
-Oh please help me miss Fairy, I promise I will be good and never lie again!
-OK I will forgive you this time, but you better keep your promise!

This is amazing! I am so impressed with not just your photography skills, but with the care and thought you put into creating each scene. Absolutely brilliant! I am very curious about the backdrops or scenery you have in these photos; did you make them yourself? I'm wondering especially about the brick wall, sidewalks, and the building that has the brickwork around the doorway.
