Artist and photographer Michael Paul Smith has spent hours upon hours photographing one special town that he holds very dear to his heart. There is something that always drew him to it, and the images he created are simple, but stunning. They glow with small-town charm and innocence, reminiscent of days and decades past.
The town he photographs is quaint and beautiful.
Its like each picture tells a story of how life used to be in the United States.
Theres not much going on in these pictures, but its obvious that this town is nothing but charm.

Some of those pics have to be real or at least partially real (those with vegetation in the background).

All models. Awesome.
For a second I was afraid, that the way things are going these days, the report was about a pedophile who kept taking photos that included his favorite 10 year old in every shot.

When I was a kid, Libtards made fun of these towns as "Ozzie and Harriet" because "Leave it to Beaver" was a popular TV show. Now, they make fun of "Leave it to Beaver."
I guess their ideal of a town is some crime ridden area of south central LA because it is diverse.

Good pictures but “The Twilight Zone” just comes mind.

This picture intrigues me.
Its that chair on the front porch. Its a metal chair. Mrs. Rnd and I are looking for them. There are a few places that now make new reproductions of these mid century classics, but if you can find an original in good condition for under $100 - buy it.

What an amazing eye for detail, such realism. Lots of work went into those models.
The only thing that could possibly give it away is that the town is cleaner than real life.
But that's okay. I love it. Thank You for posting.
