Elgin Park is a virual village and we are the dolls inside..

Elgin Park is a virtual village create by Michael Paul Smith in the USA. He photographs his 1:24 model cars against a photo background. He has had more than 10 million hits on flickr.com
Here is an article about him.

this is his original site,
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ go to 24796741 at N05/
and the above article is about Michael model village called Elgin park, which he creates in his tiny packed apartment in Winchester, Mass. USA

.. but the real story is that flickr fans have created a group and promoted
it..taken his photos and added people etc. You will now see the web of links that will then virtually link all these tagged photos. ..maximising their chances of other people looking at their sites. This is how you get more traffic, when building your business. Unfortunately it is also about Elgin Park almost being highjacked.
I've written to Michael Paul Smith as a like minded individual and asked for a reciprocal link. I am linking to my site Htpp://Dollshousedolls.blogspot.com and hope to develop this site jointly.
Miniatures are a wonderful absorbing interest and Photography and the internet means we can share our creativity.
