Tilt-Shift

I really struggled at the beginning of my tilt-shift project, because it was difficult to find a subject to photograph and I am not accustomed to creating pictures-- I like to wait for them to come to me. I eventually overcame this struggle when I found a bin full of plastic dinosaurs in my basement. Obviously, dinosaurs are extinct, but I tried to "bring them back to life" by making them look large compared to the background. These photos were all taken in mid-April, 2010 in Akron, Ohio.
