Miniatures...bringing a childhood obsession to a new level

As a child and teen, I loved miniatures. I dreamed of having a dollhouse (never happened). I went to a miniature shop and drooled over the displays.
I had a small collection (get it?? small?) of them, but they cost more money than I could part with at that point.

Fast-forward to today. My friend Stacey asked if I'd ever heard of tilt-shift photography. Oh my goodness. I had to try it right away.
Obviously not by buying a lens.
So to Photoshop I went!
After a bunch of failed attempts, I finally got what I wanted!

How'd I do??
