What a lovely photograph from yesteryear, eh? Not quite.
It's a model. Specifically, it's one of the astoundingly detailed models of 1950s American homes, cars, and street scenes made by Michael Paul Smith. His work is being compiled into a new book called Elgin Park, the name of a fictitious Pleasantville-like town which his models and photographs depict.
