    Stude content here

    I don't know if this has been posted here before or not, but just in case, you're gonna like this.

    Photos of my models

    Our past is a powerful draw and in so many ways we try to capture it in order to explain it to ourselves. What started out as an exercise in model building and photography, ended up as a dream-like reconstruction of the town I grew up in. It's not an exact recreation, but it does capture the mood of my memories. And like a dream, many of the buildings show up in different configurations throughout the photos. Or sometimes, the buildings stay put and the backgrounds change. Visually, this is heading towards the realm of ART. NO PHOTOSHOP WAS USED IN THESE PICTURES. IT'S ALL STRAIGHT FROM THE CAMERA. It's the oldest trick in the special effects book: line up a model with an appropriate background and shoot. The buildings are 1/24th scale [ or 1/2 inch equals a foot ]. They are constructed of Gator board, styrene plastic, Sintra [ a light flexible plastic that can be carved, and painted ] plus numerous found objects; such as jewelry pieces, finishing washers and printed material. There are also two books available entitled: Elgin Park -An Ideal American Town and ELGIN PARK - Visual Memories of Mid-Century America in 1/24th Scale

      Appreciate the effort but this has to win some sort of award for being posted the most times.

          This is why repeat topics don't bother me much. You guys say it's been here before, but I have not seen it. Don't know how I missed it. Anyway thought the pictures were "way Cool"

            It arrives by email periodically from friends who are aware of my car interest. It has had wide distribution. It has been viewed by many people and just keeps on coming! Very well done.
