Model Cities From Around The World

I wrote recently about the manipulation of viewer experiences in photography using false miniaturization (the "tilt-shift fake") and real miniatures. For a treasure trove of documentary images of scale models of cities, check out Tinselman's catalog [via] or photographer Andrew Currie's full set of photos of the model city of Shanghai. The photo above is one of Currie's Creative-Commons licensed images from his Flickr photostream.
