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.

Sad...#5 looks too much like my style

Comment posted by ilovephotoblogs on December 10, 2008

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?

http://little-people.blogspot.com/

One of my personal favorites.

Comment posted by Rachel on December 27, 2008

This is an awesome collection.

I especially like pic#15.

Reminds me of a golf tournament.

Really cool.
