The Little Edinburgh Project
This is Little Edinburgh, it is a series of shots I have taken around the city of Edinburgh in Scotland over the years. It is called Little Edinburgh because the focus of the project is to take photos in a way as to show the city in miniature using the tilt-shift effect. Edinburgh is an international cosmopolitan city but still somehow has a small town feel to it. I cannot walk down the street without recognising someone I know. So with that in mind it felt appropriate to create a vision of Edinburgh that makes it look very small, almost like a toy town.
The Natural World Gallery
Behold, the Natural World Gallery. An exhibition within the National Museum of Scotland that displays many a varied creature within it's wall that can and sadly cannot be found in the wild.. What do I mean by that? Well if you look closely you may notice a few skeletons in the exhibit.. those are generally the extinct animals.. so their bones are reconstructed.. this includes giant elk, dinosaurs and the loch ness monster (that last one is a lie). Oh and they have a FREAKING NARWHAL.
This is one of those exhibits that is quite popular with the wee ones (the kids) as there are some tactile exhibits as well. You can learn how various animals feel to touch (without getting your hand bitten off or stung to death) as well as smell what certain creatures smell like .. and let me tell you.. some could really do with a wash! Good thing humans evolved to the point of not displaying our 'natural musk'. Ever sit near a homeless guy on the bus that hasn't washed in 20 years. Yeah.. don't ever do that if you can help it.. it burns the inside of your olfactory senses like salt on an open wound. I'm digressing..
If you want to learn more go to the museum webpages here. Their pictures are a bit naff.. I really should get in touch with them and pimp my photographic services.. don't you think?
Thanks for Looking.
