Small is Beautiful, or, How Cool Is Tilt-Shift Photography?

So here's how things work sometimes. While doing research in preparation for my conversation with William Lunderman, I discovered this interview with him conducted by Debbie Millman. Since her conversation with William tended towards the philosophical, as well as the physiognomic - they spent some time discussing whether or not brands should target the reptilian or the mammalian brain - I thought she might appreciate my conversation with him. Well, I scoured her blog looking for contact information but could not find any. [Insert "sad face" emoticon here.]

However, I did find her BuzzFeed feed, and after reading about the wayward Ms. Sophie Anderton, I came across this feed devoted to Tilt-Shift Photography, something that I had never heard of before but is really cool.

Essentially, tilt-shift photography relies on a special lens to allow you to take photographs of cities or mountains, for example, and make them look like miniatures. If you want to see what I'm talking about, check out the work of Olivo Barbieri or Vincent Laforet.

Being unusually tall, little things usually freak me out, but not pictures of little building I could squash like Godzilla!

PS. Debbie Millman, if you are reading this, I like your paintings and would love to interview you.
