I've collected models of photographers for a long time. Some are very, very small.

Bob: sorry Nr 7 carries a bag and a moustache. I don't carry those. And he is using a DSLR. I don't... You know I'm a Leica-man. And the Leica comes with a scarf... Nr 7 doesn't have a scarf. Try again...

Ha ha ha excellent post Mr. Power!!
I am no. 2
There should be one more tiny photographer with camera in one hand and beer in second. Dancing of course :) ha ha
Magnum should order a little portraits for all member photographers.

This made me smile so much! As a photographer and a miniaturist, you couldn't have found a more perfect pairing to make my morning. In particular I loved #16.

I'd like to thank David Bowen for introducing me to the 'Little People' website (see above). I've bought the book.
And in answer to John, I'd be number 8 I think, with perhaps a little of the campness of number 10 thrown in. One day I'll do post another blog with part two of my collection...

Funny! I have the same set of photographers as some in there (1, 4, 7, 12) that I found at a Winnipeg head shop. We named them all after our friends too (me being 1)!

What about photographers shooting tiny things?

One of my personal favorites.

This is an awesome collection.
I especially like pic#15.
Reminds me of a golf tournament.
Really cool.
