I am heart sick to have just learned of Michael Paul Smith's passing. I started scratch building in 1:24 scale modeling after a friend introduced his work to me.

He was a true inspiration and the master of forced perspective model photography. Here is the link from the NY Times with much infor and his short interview film. There is over 700 photos in a memorium on Flicker as well.

He was the nicest person one would hope to meet'. He will be surely missed. He had 74 Million followers on Flicker'...
