Dioramas - again.
Yes, nothing has old-man written all over it like dioramas, but there are some people out there who do amazing stuff with diorama scenes. I posted a link to Thomas Doyle's diorama art a while ago and today Clementine (whose posterous blog ReflectionsOf.Me is highly recommended, by the way) posted a link to Kim Keever's gallery page. His work is amazing, if slightly kitschy Hudson River School kind of way (link). Here's a snip
Kim Keever's large-scale photographs are created by meticulously constructing miniature topographies in a 200-gallon tank, which is then filled with water. These dioramas of fictitious environments are brought to life with colored lights and the dispersal of pigment, producing ephemeral atmospheres that he must quickly capture with his large-format camera.
Doyle's work is equally amazing and well worth checking out. What strikes me the most is the attention to detail and, well, tininess of it all. It's a pain in the butt to get the materals needed, but HA! - I found me a new hobby for those long and cold winter nights that will be here sooner than you'd think.
