Teddy Bears

Brief

For generations, Teddy bears have been a staple of childhood play things. If you're like me, they were also more than toys; they were our confidants, our pals and our bed mates. When we outgrew our teddies, many of us held onto them to either pass to the next generation or as a reminder of our childhood. We give them as presents on Valentine's Day, baby showers and the like.. Let's see your teddy bear(s) and what they mean to you. It/they can be old, new, handmade or mass produced, as long as you can photograph them in such a way as to evoke a warm or poignant mood.
