NaBloPoMo Day 7

toy riviera market

Somehow I ran across a wonderful tutorial on how to make landscape photos look like model train sets, so I tried it on a couple of old photos I had. The one above is the Riviera Market on Micheltorena Street in Santa Barbara; the one below is a building on Haley Street.

    There's a much less time-consuming way : ) Found through a friend of mine on Flickr:

    I second the Thomas Train comment. You've gotta photoshop Percy into the parking lot of a strip club! Please!
