Something is going on here..and really, I'd love to find more little mini-scenes like these...How cool would these look really really big, like 3x3 feet hanging on a wall...hm...my artsy brain is having a moment.

A new 'project'?
In December we (husband, kids and I) went out to Walnut Creek somewhere..not sure where now, but there is this little train museum place. It's awesome. There is this whole culture (all men that I saw working there) of mini trains...and the sets that these trains were on were awesome. I had my camera thinking I'd be photographing the kids that day, but instead got sucked into these little sets...I remember years ago seeing a photographers work similar to this. They created these little weird scenes and then photographed them very close up, with shallow depth of field, and they had this surreal creepy dreamy look. THESE ones though, the ones that I took, are like real life situations...I love this. So then, when I went to Mexico in January, we were at this crazy super mall in Nuevo Vallarta (wasn't into it really) and there was this little display there showing off the condos and the condo community that you can get into there.

So freaking cool. My dad actually is one of those guys that has a train set in the basement that he works on all winter. (It is MAINE, after all...) I'll have to try this next summer when I visit! Great stuff! It would look great printed HUGE.
