I thought this was pretty cool:

I still like slot cars better, but these are some pretty fun pictures.

I have seen Smith's terrific work before. I went to his website and captured all of the pictures a couple of years ago, now I see that there a lot of new pictures. These are the cars that were on the streets when I was a kid in the '50s and '60s and the scenes remind me of the towns where I lived. Some people have commented that the scenes are a little sterile, there are no weeds in the cracks or leaves in the gutters. People are not seen walking the streets. The fact is that I don't rember those details while the cars and the streets are still vivid in my memory.

It is amazing what you can do with model railroad materials. I have done model trains
this way. Now I am inspired to do cars as well.

Very nice photos. But they send a chill up my spine. Unfortunately our kids spend 12 years learning how to read text critically, but virtually no time is spent learning how to read and interpret pictures. Those of you with children or grandchildren in grades 1 through 12, ask them how many classes they have had in visual literacy. Reading is in serious decline and photographs and other images are bombarding us. Because of our DNA, we want to believe what we see. Without the skills to really look at images critically we can be (and are) fooled by what we see, thinking it is true and factual.

Smith's work is out of this world thank for sharing I do my work because of Smith's work this is just one of my photos 14/3 thank you for sharing
