I photographed my friends Miniature Trains...Amazing...

I was invited to take photos of my friend Frankie's uncle's Miniature Trains, Uncle Al. He lives in Staten Island so I took a ride out there this week, rented some lighting and some lenses and did a full day photo shoot.
Uncle Al has been working on this train set for about 20 years, it is totally amazing. Check out the photos.
