Michael Paul Smith is a model builder and artist who continues to tell the story of Elgin Park through his photography. His scenes will take you back in time and you’d swear Elgin Park is a real city that time forgot. I’ve been following Mr. Smith on flickr for a while now and each photograph I see still amazes me.
The detailed model houses, street scenes and cars from his extensive collection are placed and photographed in such a way that you feel like you are looking through a window into yesteryear.
The video below will give you a glimpse into the world he’s created. Afterwards, take a look at the photographs he’s posted on flickr. Also, if you want a lasting memory and great coffee table book, Michael published a book this summer titled “Elgin Park”, available from the publisher for $50.00.
