You're mad as a f***ing hatter!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uh-huh! :)

I like the one with the window. Reminds me of the last scene of a movie I saw years and years ago. "Incredible Shrinking Man" or some such....the hero survived living in a dollhouse and being stalked by a cat and ended up climbing through the mesh on a windowscreen to escape to the outdoors.

Yes, that one's my favourite, too. Perhaps because it's so simple, or because it's possible to see the tiny figure as just that, a tiny figure, no more information, not an obvious toy - and on the brink of something huge. The natural light works well here, too.

Or am I simply revealing what a hopeless romantic I am?

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

It's my favourite too.

And for the same reasons....:)

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

I didn't see that one.

But I used to watch the TV series Land of the Giants with my kids.

There's a movie trailer on the web! :-)

Narrated by Orson Wells, even.... :-)

looks interesting.....

[mummm.livejournal.com]

Oh how fun! :^)))

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)

He needs a tiny tent and a tiny pack mule. Also - underwater shots in the sink?

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

Maybe there'll be a second instalment. We're working on it....

[tx-cronopio.livejournal.com]

You are very silly, my friend. Fortunately, I like silly :)

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

Cheers :)

O, the synchronicity! We just got back from Mt. Hood. It's good to know that someone is busy exploring the inner spaces whilst we trek through the outer!

It cheered me to think he carries a tiny guitar in his hand. The I realised it's probably a flashlight...I think I will continue to allow myself to believe it is in fact a tiny guitar :-)

Onwards, intrepid adventurer!

[amritarosa.livejournal.com]

Wait a sec...it's a she, isn't it?
Oh well, it's hard to tell with these rockstars sometimes.

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's right.

I wish i could have shown her in close-up, but she's so tiny she goes out of focus if I move any nearer.

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

Actually she's a she....

And it's a flashlight (but she has music in her soul)

Hey, yes, I've just been looking at your photos of Mt Hood. Grand!

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

The question is- how did she get up there?

[dakegra.livejournal.com]

inspired. And raised a grin on my otherwise tired face.
:-)

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

Cheers,

I'm glad....

this really is pretty insane, but in an awesome way. in fact i think i would like these pictures even more if i was on mind-altering substances. they have the potential to be stared at in that fashion.

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

An undercurrent of threat and weirdness...?

Good, excellent.

I didn't really know what I was doing when I was shooting them; I just knew it had to be done...

A Modern day Gulliver! I loved the one on the goddess' head.

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

The trouble I had getting her in focus on that one! :)

[jackiejj.livejournal.com]

Please tell the little explorer that she can't read Shakespeare if she can't open the book!

Delightful. My favorite was her standing on top of Venus, where she is probably thinking, "I may be insignificant compared to you, but I've got all my appendages."

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

The one of her on top of Mt Venus was the hardest to get. That statue stands in a very dark corner of the house and I don't like using flash- so it look me about twenty tries to get her more or less in focus.

Any crossover here...?

[zoe-1418.livejournal.com]

I wonder if she could in any way be connected to The Weather-House People? Naw... she's not really like them at all, right? They are more primitive, more earthy, less worldly or experienced?

Re: Any crossover here...?

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

There's certainly a connection.

Jackie and I share an obsession with very small things.

Re: Any crossover here...?

[zoe-1418.livejournal.com]

Yes. But do your very small people know each other?

Re: Any crossover here...?

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

The small explorer hasn't met the weather-house people (yet) but it is a fact that other small persons have travelled between the two households.
In this rather blurry image the small explorer poses with the little wooden woman who used to reside on Jackie's mantlepiece
