The Clearing

I adore this type of work. Any kind of landscape built in miniature and photographed to look life-size makes me feel like I am about three years old, and that all my daydreams are possible.

Any kind of forced-perspective, playing with scale and DOF work totally draws me in. I could look at this for an hour. Imaginary worlds – infinitely preferable to my own.

Go have a look at all of her work, some of the snowy scenes really remind me of creepy snowglobes.

Those are wonderful! I like that he leaves them there. And I love that this one has my name in it. http://little-people.blogspot.com/2008/09/theyre-not-pets-susan.html

Mayhap I will begin a subversive copycate miniature campaign in StL, just to eff with people. But then I’d have to invest in a camera w/much better macro capabilities. Hrm…

That’s awesome! So are those Little People, very much.

SBG, I remember you had some St. Louis scenes in your flickr site that were like this only in reverse — full-size scenes made to look miniature. (Some kind of PhotoShop filter was employed, I think.) Those were cool also. I distinctly remember a scene of Union Station with the tower — that’s my favorite.

You could do little scenes of people being shot on their porches by drive-bys, and put them near the entrances of prominent St. Louis buildings …
